prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump met for the first time on Monday, seeking to develop a warm relationship despite differences over trade, immigration and the Paris climate accord.
Modi earlier arrived at the White House on Monday for his first meeting with Trump, seeking to build on a recent upturn in ties between the world’s two largest democracies.
During brief Oval Office remarks, Trump heaped praise on Modi as a “great prime minister” who had brought economic growth to India. Modi recalled Trump’s visits to India long before he was president and said he was looking forward to collaborating with him now that he is president.
