US President Donald Trump said Monday that ties between Washington and New Delhi had ‘never been stronger’ after holding his first talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The relationship between India and the United States has never been stronger, never been better,” Trump said in the White House Rose Garden, standing alongside Modi.

On Sending out a strong message to terrorism from Pakistan

“The leaders called on Pakistan to ensure that its territory is not used to launch terrorist attacks on other countries. They further called on Pakistan to expeditiously bring to justice the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai, Pathankot, and other cross-border terrorist attacks perpetrated by Pakistan-based groups,” the joint statement reads.

This is what President Trump had to say about fighting terrorism: “The security partnership between the United States and India is incredibly important. Both our nations have been struck by the evils of terrorism, and we are both determined to destroy terrorist organisations and the radical ideology that drives them.”
