About 50,000 Indian Americans attended the 'Howdy Modi!' rally in Houston, where the crowd chanted 'Modi! Modi! Modi!' as he took the stage to introduce Trump as 'my friend, a friend of India, a great American president.'
President Donald Trump's run-up to the U.N. General Assembly was a dash on Sunday through two key political states with two world leaders at events that felt like his raucous campaign rallies.
Earlier, in Texas, Trump joined Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to highlight the growth of U.S. exports to India and billions of dollars spent by India on U.S. defense equipment. Neither mentioned trade tensions. Deafening drums marked the entrance of Trump and Modi as they clasped hands and walked across the stage in a packed Texas stadium, sending a message of unity between the world's two largest democracies.
Modi even used Trump's political slogan to say the president had a strong resolve to"make America great again." Trump said Modi invited him to the rally — one of the largest U.S. gatherings of the Indian diaspora in history — when they met last month in France, and Trump seemed to explain his decision to attend by saying"I love India."
