\u00a0“He’s a very tough negotiator…You look at this man. I’ll give you a lesson. He’s the most beautiful-looking man. He looks so nice, like an angel. But actually, he’s as tough as he is a killer. But he looks so good. So he gets you by surprise. But there are a few people like this. People say he’s such a nice man. I said he’s very tough. He’s a tough trader, and he loves the Indian people,” the US President said.\u00a0<\/p>

We have a G2 coming up, and then we have a G20 coming up,” Trump said.\u00a0“We had, in particular, some very good conversations with Prime Minister Modi of India. We’re doing trade deals… A lot of things are happening between the United States and India.”<\/p>
Trump also highlighted growing economic engagement between the two countries.\u00a0“The Prime Minister is building a lot in the United States. He’s spending a lot of money in the United States, so we appreciate that job,” he said.<\/p>
