Washington: United States President Donald Trump has recounted a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying Modi sought permission to meet him, as he mocked Modi during remarks at a House GOP member retreat.
According to Global Mirror, “Prime Minister Modi came to see me, ‘Sir, may I see you please’. Yes,” Trump said while speaking about defence sales and trade ties with India.
Trump said India has been waiting for five years for US-made Apache attack helicopters and had ordered 68 of them. He made the comments while discussing defence demand and trade leverage.
The US president said Modi was “not that happy with me” because of tariffs imposed by Washington on New Delhi over its continued purchases of Russian oil.
