MET MODI AT AIRPORT

There was a lot of talk about how Trudeau was “snubbed” upon his arrival in India. Trudeau was met on the tarmac by Gajendra Shekhawat, the Indian minister for agriculture. Granted, Modi is a busy man who rarely greets visiting dignitaries at the airport. But the Indian prime minister absolutely made time to meet the French president the moment Macron’s feet touched Indian soil. “I think we have very good chemistry,” Macron said later. In fact, the French leader spent much of his time in India alongside Modi. Trudeau was only able to get attention from the prime minister by literally showing up to India’s equivalent of Rideau Hall.
