Here are some key points that PM Modi spoke about:
PM Modi Praises Trump’s Dedication
During the interview, PM Modi praised Trump’s strong dedication to his country, especially after the assassination attempt on him last year. Modi recalled how Trump stayed strong and determined even after being shot while campaigning for the US elections. “When he was shot during the recent campaign, I saw the same resilient and determined President Trump, the one who walked hand-in-hand with me in that stadium. Even after being shot, he remained unwaveringly dedicated to America. His life was for his nation,” Modi said.
Shared Ideologies: ‘America First’ and ‘India First’
PM Modi also spoke about the similarities between Trump’s “America First” and his own “India First” approaches. He said their shared focus on putting their countries first has helped build a strong bond between them. “His reflection showed his America First spirit, just as I believe in Nation First. I stand for India first and that’s why we connect so well,” Modi explained.
He added, “People rarely get the chance to truly meet or personally know one another and perhaps third-party intervention is the real cause of tensions.”
Memorable Moment at the ‘Howdy Modi’ Event
Modi recalled their time together at the “Howdy Modi” event in Houston in 2019, where they spoke in front of a massive crowd. He appreciated Trump’s humility, noting how Trump sat in the audience while he spoke from the stage. “The President of the United States sitting in the audience while I spoke from the stage, that was a remarkable gesture on his part,” Modi said.
Trump’s Trust and Courage at the Event
After his speech, Modi suggested they take a walk around the stadium to greet the crowd. Despite strict security, Trump agreed without hesitation, showing his trust and courage. “In American life, it’s almost impossible for the President to walk into a crowd of thousands, but without even a moment’s hesitation, he agreed and started walking with me,” Modi added.
He called it a “truly touching” moment that showed Trump’s trust in him and his courage to walk into a crowd without security concerns.
Trump’s Kind Gestures and Their Strong Friendship
PM Modi also praised Trump for his kindness, noting how Trump would always mention their friendship even after his first term ended. “Whenever someone we both knew met him, he would say, ‘Modi is my friend, convey my regards.’ That kind of gesture is rare,” said Modi.
Trump’s Preparedness for His Second Term
Modi observed that Trump seemed much more prepared for his second term, with a clear plan and goals in mind. “This time, he seems far more prepared than before. He has a clear roadmap in his mind with well-defined steps,” Modi said.
Meetings with Influential Figures
During his recent trip to the US, PM Modi met with several influential people, including tech billionaire Elon Musk, US Vice President JD Vance, and others. He particularly praised his warm and friendly meeting with Elon Musk, who was accompanied by his family.
