Melania seemed at ease while sitting attentively on a couch in the Oval Office, as the two world leaders sat in chairs nearby.
Later, Trump gave Modi a guided tour of the President's residence quarters, including the Lincoln bedroom, and showed him a copy of the former President's famous Gettysburg address and the desk on which he wrote it.Trump said it was "a great honour" to host Modi "who has been such a great PM".He also joked that he and Modi are both "world leaders in social media" during a joint news statement that served as an interlude to an Oval Office meeting and a dinner."I'm proud to announce to the media, to the American people and to the Indian people, that Prime Minister Modi and I are world leaders in social media," Trump said of Modi's 31 million Twitter followers to his 32.8 million. Trump added: "We're believers, giving the citizens of our countries the opportunity to hear directly from their elected officials, and for us to hear directly from them. I guess it's worked very well in both cases."Later, Modi invited the President's daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump "to India for the Entrepreneurship Summit", scheduled for later this year.
