They visited Ahmedabad, Agra and New Delhi before leaving for Washington.
“We had a great time in India. It was an incredible two days and he (Modi) is a great friend of mine”, Mr. Trump told reporters at a White House news conference.
“He’s a friend of his people because he was greeted incredibly warmly as was I in that stadium. That was an incredible event. And I loved being with him”, Mr. Trump said.
“We talked about everything. We talked about far more than just borders”, said the President in response to a question.
During the visit, India and the U.S. finalised defence deals under which 30 military helicopters will be procured from two American defence majors for the Indian armed forces.
