Trump, too, tweeted on Sunday that USA loves India, expressing his gratitude to over 50,000 India-Americans for giving him and PM Modi a rousing welcome on their arrival at the packed NRG stadium here for the much-awaited ‘Howdy, Modi’ event.
"The USA loves India!" Trump said in a succinct tweet.
It was for the first time that Trump and Modi shared a stage together and addressed a record crowd of 50,000 Indian-Americans.
He described as "incredible" the electric atmosphere at the NRG arena in Houston.
Earlier in his speech, Trump described Modi as America's "greatest" and "most loyal friend", and said the prime minister was doing an exceptional job for India.
"Under Prime Minister Modi the world is witnessing a strong, thriving and sovereign India," he said.
Trump said he was looking forward to work with Modi to make "our nations more prosperous than ever before".
