But it was the president’s expressions of warmth for India that stood out on his second day in a country that has given he and first lady Melania Trump a lavish welcome.“Melania and I have been awed by the magic of India,” he said.an event that turned out an estimated 125,000 people to hear the president and prime minister speak.
While Monday was defined by Modi shining the spotlight on his guest – with cheering crowds and tours of some of India’s most significant cultural sites – on Tuesday the president will show deference to his host.Earlier Tuesday, the president and first lady Melania Trump placed a wreath and scattered flower petals at a memorial for Mahatma Gandhi near India’s sprawling presidential palace, Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Trump began the day with an elaborate welcome ceremony at the presidential palace. His vehicle was escorted onto the grounds by Indian soldiers on horseback, amid the sound of cannons firing. He then walked along a red carpet rolled out on the burnt orange soil for a review of dozens of uniformed Indian troops.
