Modi is America's greatest, most devoted and loyal friend: Trump
President Donald Trump praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "America's greatest, most devoted, and loyal friend" and backed him in his governance. PM Modi is "doing a truly excellent job in India and for all the Indian people", he said.
Pushing strong relations between India and America
Trump mentioned the MoU between India's Petronet LNG and US liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer Tellurian Inc inked a day ago - one of the largest foreign investments in the US in shale gas abroad.
Petronet will spend $2.5 billion for an 18% equity stake in the $28 billion Driftwood LNG terminal, and negotiate the purchase of 5 million tonnes of gas per annum.
