Modi said that Trump’s attendance at the event highlighted the strength of ties between the two countries and was a recognition of the contribution of the Indian diaspora.

“The special gesture of President @realDonaldTrump to join us in Houston highlights the strength of the relationship and recognition of the contribution of the Indian community to American society and economy. #HowdyModi,” he said in a tweet.

The White House, in a statement, said: “On Sunday, September 22, 2019, President Donald Trump will travel to Houston, Texas, and Wapakoneta, Ohio, to underscore the important partnerships between the US and India, and Australia.
