President Trump calls him a ‘tough negotiator’ but Trump himself is the master
in ‘art of the deal.’ During his speech, he also mentioned initiating a decisive battle against terrorism reminding everybody of the 9/11 attacks in the US
and 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. PM Modi’s speech lasting for hours stressed

also glanced more into the subject of abrogation of Article 370 and people
having a problem with it.
“Some people have a problem with the abrogation of Article 370. These are the same people who cannot govern their own country properly. These are the same people who shield terrorism and nurture it. The whole world knows them very well. Article 370 had deprived people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh of development. Terror and separatist elements were misusing the situation. Now people there have got equal rights,” said PM Modi.
Considering
the prospering development he also shed light on deriving concrete methods in
making a transparent ecosystem. Promoting Digital India’s girth, he urged
people to pivot on it for ease of living. Reminding everyone of 2nd

“India
has never invested in the United States like it is doing today, and I want to say
it is reciprocal because we are doing the same thing in India. Our relationship

democracy. As a result of PM Modi's pro-growth policies, India has lifted
nearly 300 million out of poverty, and that is an incredible number,” said
Donald Trump.
