United States President Donald Trump will begin his maiden official two-day state visit to India on Monday, becoming the seventh American President to visit the country. Trump will be accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and a twelve-member delegation comprising US National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette among others. Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India looks forward to welcoming the US President and that it is an honour that "he will be with us tomorrow, starting with the historic programme in Ahmedabad!"

"Look so forward to being with my great friends in INDIA!" Trump had tweeted on Sunday, quoting a morphed video showing him as the protagonist of hit Bollywood film 'Bahubali'. The visiting dignitary will reach Ahmedabad around Monday noon and after a visit to Sabarmati Gandhi Ashram will address a mammoth crowd of more than 100,000 people at an event titled 'Namaste Trump' at the Motera Stadium in the city. The event will be based on the lines of 'Howdy Modi' function that was addressed by the US President and Prime Minister Modi in Houston in September, last year.
