President Trump on Monday was offered a warm welcome during his first trip to India and announced that the U.S. and India would sign a defense deal for New Delhi to purchase over $3 billion in American helicopters and other military equipment.

Addressing a large crowd at a cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, Trump called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “true friend,” touted the bond between the United States and India and expressed a desire to strengthen that bond further.

“Namaste, and hello to India. This is such a great honor,” Trump said at the outset of his remarks. “The first lady and I have just traveled 8,000 miles around the world to deliver a message to every citizen across this nation: America loves India, America respects India, and America will always be faithful and loyal friends to the Indian people.”

“I am pleased to announce that tomorrow our representatives will sign deals to sell over $3 billion in the absolute finest, state-of-the-art military helicopters and other equipment to the Indian armed forces,” the president said.

  1. “Addressing a large crowd” Of course Fake News wouldn’t have the courage to report that over 120,000 people lined the streets in India to greet President Trump.

    • And most of them wore Trump hats. If Trump would replace the Leftist in the US with the Indians, the US would be the greatest country in the world.
