Modi gets a guided White House tour

Washington, June 27: A guided White House tour by President Donald Trump, a few laughs and a working dinner — the first for a foreign dignitary at the White House under the current administration — was how Prime Minister Narendra Modi rounded off his US visit. “Well, Mr President (Donald Trump), let me express my gratitude for this invitation that was extended to me. It is true that I have spent a very short time over here, but really, I have felt so much at home during this stay in the US,” Mr Modi told the President at the dinner that was hosted in his honour by Mr Trump.

The US President was joined by First Lady Melania Trump, and Vice President Mike Pence for the dinner. Mr Trump had his top Cabinet members at the dinner, including defence secretary James Mattis, secretary of state Rex Tillerson, Trump’s chief of staff Reince Priebus and senior advisor Jared Kushner. — PTI
