President Trump and first lady Melania Trump tour the Taj Mahal on their trip to India.
President Donald Trump, who once owned the former Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, took in breathtaking views of the real Taj Mahal Monday in India.
On the way from the airport, crowds waved tiny Indian and U.S. flags. Larger-than-life sized cutouts of Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were erected along the route. Anti-Trump street demonstrations broke out in Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Gauhati. But also in Delhi, a group of Hindu nationalists held a prayer meeting and offered a blessing by putting a vermilion mark on the forehead of Trump’s photograph in a poster. A priest chanted Hindu hymns wishing Trump success in his endeavor for strong ties with India.
Trump announced more military sales to India, including helicopters, and said he is working with Modi on a trade deal. The audience cheered when Trump mentioned U.S. strikes on radical Islamic extremists and when he said that the U.S. was working with Pakistan to crack down on militants operating on the Pakistani border.Addressing the event, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi said history is being scripted at the Motera stadium.
