US President Donald Trump has arrived at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, where President Ram Nath Kovind will host a dinner for the Trumps. This is the American leader's last official engagement before he heads back to the US.
US President Donald Trump on February 25 said that he discussed the issue of religious freedom with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his comprehensive talks.
On being asked about the violence on north-east Delhi over the Citizenship Amendment Act, Trump said, "PM Modi wants people to have religious freedom. We talked about it (Citizenship Amendment Act) for very long.If you look back, India has worked hard for religious freedom."
India is going to be a tremendous player over the next period of 50 years, or 100 years. India has a lot of potential. India has got a phenomenal future.
We discussed about Muslims and Christians and we talked about religious liberty. PM Modi told me that they are working very closely with the Muslim community.
When we look at all the things that we have seen today, I just think India is an inredible country. This is a diplomacy of great friendship and respect. I respect your Prime Minister, and it's going to work out very well.
