President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered warm statements in the Rose Garden Monday evening, with Trump saying the U.S.-India relationship had "never been stronger." Trump gave a special shoutout to their social media skills — each has more than 30 million followers on Twitter.
They took no questions.
Modi invited Trump and his family to India, and asked Ivanka Trump to lead the U.S. delegation to a global entrepreneurship summit in India.
Trump said he hoped the Indian-U.S. trading relationship would become "fair and reciprocal." In that vein, Trump said the U.S. looked forward to exporting natural gas to India but wanted to "get the price up a little bit." Earlier in the day, Trump thanked Modi for purchasing American military equipment.
