Mr Trump is said to have imitated the accent of Mr Modi, who can speak and understand English but prefers to speak in his native Hindi, and claimed that he said to him: ‘Never has a country given so much away for so little in return’ as the United States in Afghanistan.




He also claimed the Indian leader’s comments was evidence that the rest of the world saw the US as being taken advantage of in Afghanistan.

‘Americans are not defined by their accents, but by their commitment to this nation’s values and ideals.’
