India best trade negotiators: Trump |
Describing India as ``best trade negotiators``, US President Donald Trump on Nov 13 commended the relations of the two countries as he celebrated Diwali in the White House along with top Indian-Americans. The United States has deep ties to the nation of India and I am grateful for my friendship with Prime Minister Modi, Trump said before lighting the ceremonial Diya inside the historic Roosevelt Room of the White House. It is the second consecutive year that Trump has celebrated the largest festival of India and Indian Americans in the White House. ``We`re trying very hard to make better trade deals with India. But, they`re very good traders. They`re very good negotiators. You would say right. The best. So we`re working. And it`s moving along,`` Trump said referring to the India-US trade deal negotiations that have started between the two largest democracies of the world. The US President also acknowledged his friendship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and added that his daughter Ivanka, who was the first top official of the Trump administration to travel to India, is also friends with him.
