US President Donald Trump gifted Prime Minister Narendra Modi a signed copy of his book 'Our Journey Together' as the leaders held an interaction with reporters at the White House on February 14.
"Mr Prime Minister you are great!," wrote the US President in the book featuring unforgettable moments of his friendship with PM Modi and shared milestones.
The book is a compilation of photos, including Donald Trump and Melania Trump's visit to the Taj Mahal in 2020 and the Howdy Modi event when the Prime Minister visited Houston in 2019.

Trump welcomed PM Modi with a warm hug before the leaders settled down for the talks, hours after the American President announced a new reciprocal tariff policy for all the trading partners of the US. "I am delighted to see you back at White House," PM Modi told the US President.
Stating that he had an excellent meeting with Trump, the Prime Minister said that the talks will add significant momentum to the India-USA friendship!
After the talks, PM Modi announced that India and US have agreed to increase their bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. Taking a leaf out of Trump's 'Make America Great Again', the Prime Minister said that Viksit Bharat means 'Make India Great Again', or MIGA.
"President Trump often talks about MAGA. In India, we are working towards a Viksit Bharat, which in American context translates into MIGA. And together, the India-USA have a MEGA partnership for prosperity!," PM Modi posted on X, formerly Twitter.

In another big development, Trump announced that the United States has announced plans to provide India with F-35 stealth fighter jets. "We'll be increasing military sales to India by many billions of dollars. We're also paving the way to ultimately provide India with the F-35 stealth fighters," the US President said.
Trump, however, did not provide a timeline. Lockheed Martin, which makes the F-35 jet, did not immediately comment on Trump's ambitions to sell the jets to India.
