We know the solid political bond between two globally recognized personalities, former U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Their friendship has become a focal point in international relations, with both leaders consistently praising each other in public forums. Recently, Trump expressed his admiration for Modi during an episode of the Flagrant podcast, describing him as his “friend” and the “nicest human being” while also labelling him a “total killer.”
Trump highlighted the significant transformation India has undergone under Modi’s leadership, noting that before Modi took office, the country was “very unstable.” This acknowledgement reflects the global awareness of Modi’s impact on India and its role on the world stage.
Recalling the “Howdy, Modi” event in Houston in September 2019, where around 80,000 people gathered to celebrate Modi’s visit, Trump described the atmosphere as “beautiful” and mentioned the palpable excitement of the crowd during their joint appearance. This event showcased the strong support Modi enjoys not just in India but also among the Indian diaspora in the U.S.
In discussing international relations, Trump shared instances where he offered assistance to Modi in addressing threats to India, alluding to tensions with Pakistan without explicitly naming the country. He quoted Modi’s assertive response: “I will do it, I will do anything necessary. We have defeated them for hundreds of years.” This powerful statement underscores the strong rapport between the two leaders, who continue to influence global political dynamics through their friendship and mutual respect.
