Meanwhile, before heading for his India visit Trump invoked Mark Zuckerberg on who is number one on Facebook.
Trump claimed that Zuckerberg told him at a dinner that he tops the social platform.
He tweeted, “Great honor, I think? Mark Zuckerberg recently stated that “Donald J. Trump is Number 1 on Facebook. Number 2 is Prime Minister Modi of India.” Actually, I am going to India in two weeks. Looking forward to it!”
The president and First Lady will be on their two-day visit to India, February 24 and 25.
Trump earlier said Modi told him millions and millions of people will welcome the two from airport to cricket stadium.
