President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shake hands at Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium.
Five months after being feted by 50,000 people at a mass rally in Houston, Trump revelled in pomp and pageantry once more as Prime Minister Narendra Modi went all-out to welcome him in his home state of Gujarat. Brightly dressed folk dancers and drummers lined the red carpet as Trump stepped off Air Force One, and hoardings trumpeting the pair’s friendship were erected alongside fluttering US and Indian flags.
“The whole world knows what President Trump has done to fulfil the dreams of America,” the 69-year-old boomed in Hindi behind a large bullet-proof screen. Not everything went to plan, with thousands filing out of the stadium during Trump’s speech as they struggled to cope with the heat in the windless stadium.
