Amazing welcome to Trump in India |
US President Donald Trump arrived in India on Monday morning on a two-day visit to India. He is accompanied by his wife Melania, daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner and the top brass of his administration. The two-day state visit, the eighth by an American president, comes ahead of the US presidential elections in November, and just months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s "Howdy, Modi!" event in Texas last year. Arriving in Ahmedabad, he took part in roadshows with Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the airport to Sabarmati Ashram and from there to the newly-built Motera stadium. Huge billboards of the two leaders and replicas of historic places in Gujarat were placed along the roads where people greeted the two leaders. Dance groups and singers from different parts of the country performed on stages that were dotting the 22-km route of the roadshow. The two leaders then jointly addressed over 100 thousand people at the Namaste Trump event at the newly reconstructed Motera cricket stadium. A cultural extravaganza was also organised at the stadium for the Namaste Trump event. Many see Trump`s visit as a reciprocal action that will offer PM Modi the chance to claim the support of the US as he struggles to deal with an economic slowdown.
