Donald Trump India Visit LIVE News Updates: Addressing the Namaste Trump event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said history is being scripted at the Motera stadium. “Five months ago, I started my journey with Howdy Modi. And today, my great friend Trump has started his journey in India in Ahmedabad with ‘Namaste Trump’. After the long journey, Trumps made their way to the Sabarmati Ashram,” said Modi, while welcoming them to the “biggest democracy in the world.” He also made the crowd chant ‘long live India-US friendship.’
The event, ‘Namaste Trump’ has been organised on the lines of the ‘Howdy, Modi’ program which was held in the US last year. Earlier today, US President and his wife Melania tried their hands at spinning the ‘charkha’ (spinning wheel) at the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad.
Accompanied by PM Narendra Modi, the US president and his wife went around the Ashram, before resuming the roadshow from the airport to the Motera stadium. Donald Trump and Melania Trump were welcomed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad. After a quick handshake and a hug, Modi introduced the Trumps to the welcoming party at the airport. This is Trump’s first visit to India since he assumed office.
Following the ‘Namaste Trump’ event, the US President will visit the Taj Mahal. Thereafter, he will travel to Delhi where he is expected to wrap up issues related to trade and defence. Hours before his arrival in Ahmedabad, Donald Trump tweeted in Hindi that he is eager to meet the people of India.
