New York| A day after joining PM Modi on the stage of ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Houston, US President Donald Trump has made a shocking comment about PM Modi’s speech. Trump called PM Modi’s statement “Aggressive” and said he didn’t expect to hear it from PM Modi.
On Sunday, PM Modi attended the ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Hoston organized by the Indian Community in the United States. During his speech, PM Modi without naming Pakistan took a sly dig at the country. He said that everyone knows where the conspirators of 9/11 and 26/11 are residing. Even Trump also said that Radical Islamic Terrorism is a great threat.

However, on Sunday, he seems to have taken a U-turn on his statements. He said that both the countries are fighting, they have been warring. Trump further said, “I heard very aggressive statement yesterday. I was there. I did not know I was going to hear that statement. I was sitting there and I heard a very aggressive statement from India, from the Prime Minister and I have to say the statement was well received by the 50000 people.” He further expressed hope that both countries will come together and find a solution to the issue.
