Trump has often praised Modi's leadership style and his contribution to global diplomacy.

Memories of 'Namaste Trump' program

When Donald Trump was the US President, he visited India in 2020. During this, he attended the 'Namaste Trump' program organized in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, where more than one lakh people attended. It was the largest event organized outside the country by any US President. During that time too, Trump praised Modi's friendship and strong ties with India.

Contribution to India-US relations

The friendship of Trump and Modi has played an important role in strengthening the bilateral relations between India and America.
