Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed President Trump to India on Monday by hosting a rally dubbed "Namaste Trump" at Sardar Patel Stadium. The arena, the largest cricket stadium in the world and the second-largest stadium in the world, was packed with more than 100,000 people who cheered as the two world leaders entered to the Village Men song "Macho Man." In his speech, Trump called Modi "a man I am proud to call my true friend."



"Namaste! Namaste. And hello to India. This is such a great honor. Let me begin by expressing my profound gratitude to an exceptional leader, a great champion of India, a man who works night and day for his country, and a man I am proud to call my true friend: Prime Minister Modi," Trump said.



"The First Lady and I have just traveled 8,000 miles around the globe to deliver a message to every citizen across this nation: America loves India, America respects India, and America will always be faithful and loyal friends to the Indian people," Trump told a cheering crowd.



"From this day on, India will always hold a very special place in our hearts," Trump said.



"Prime Minister Modi, you are not just the pride of Gujarat, you are living proof that with hard work and devotion, Indians can accomplish anything, anything at all, anything they want," Trump said. "The Prime Minister has a moving story of an incredible rise, and so does this entire nation."
