We’re going to have a good time: Trump
Houston, Sept. 22: Looking forward to address ‘Howdy, Modi’ rally in Houston, US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he and his “friend” Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have a “good time” at the mega event.
“Will be in Houston to be with my friend. Will be a great day in Texas!” Mr Trump tweeted. “Looking forward to being with our great India loving community!” the US president tweeted.
Responding to Mr Trump’s tweet, Mr Modi said he was looking forward to meet the US leader in Houston. “It surely will be a great day! Looking forward to meeting you very soon @realDonaldTrump,” Mr Modi tweeted.
The two leaders would address over 50,000 Indian-Americans at the NRG Stadium in Houston. “We’ll be going to Houston and we’ll be at a very nice big stadium packed full of people with Prime Minister Modi,” Mr Trump told reporters on the South Lawns of the White House in Washington before he left for Houston.
“He (Modi) asked if I would go with him and I’ve accepted and We’re going to have a good time,” Mr Trump said minutes before he boarded Marine One from the White House lawns.
“I heard it’s a tremendous crowd,” he added. Organised by the nonprofit Texas India Forum, the event, with the tagline ‘Shared Dreams, Bright Futures’, will shine light on the tremendous contribution of Indo-Americans in United States and the strong and lasting partnership between the United States and India.
The cultural programme preceding Prime Minister Modi’s address, showcasing Indian-American artists from Texas and elsewhere, will portray how the community is woven into the larger tapestry of American life.
