US President Donald Trump, in India on a two-day visit, today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had told him he wants people to have religious freedom, in the backdrop of violence over the contentious citizenship law. Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Mr Trump said "PM Modi is a very religious, calm man, but is a very strong person, tough".
Here are 5 big points that POTUS made during his press conference in Delhi today:
PM Modi is a very religious, calm man, but is a very strong person, tough (on acting against terrorism).
India and Pakistan working on their problem, my relationship with both India and Pak Prime Ministers is strong. Anything I can do to mediate, I would do. There are two sides to every story.
India's got a phenomenal future - you can rarely think of a place that has a better future, especially with the leadership of PM Modi.
They (India) like us more now than they've ever liked us; that's also because of my close friendship with PM Modi.
PM told me (in front of a large group of people) he wants people to have religious freedom and "they have worked very hard on this".
