Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised US President Donald Trump for ‘remaining unwaveringly dedicated to America’ even after being shot at one of the election rallies last year. Modi, speaking at the Lex Fridman podcast, drew a parallel with President Trump in echoing ‘nation first’ ideology.
“When he was shot during the recent campaign, I saw the same resilient and determined President Trump, the one who walked hand-in-hand with me in that stadium. Even after being shot, he remained unwaveringly dedicated to America. His life was for his nation,” said PM Modi in Lex Fridman Podcast.
Trump narrowly escaped being shot in the head by a bullet that whizzed by and left his right ear bleeding during his election rally in Pennsylvania in July last year.
“His reflection showed his America First spirit, just as I believe in nation first. I stand for India first and that’s why we connect so well. These are the things that truly resonate. And I believe that across the world politicians are covered so much by the media that people mostly perceive each other through its lens. People rarely get the chance to truly meet or personally know one another and perhaps third-party intervention is the real cause of tensions,” Modi said.
Modi’s conversation with Lex Fridman is his second appearance in podcasts. This is Modi’s first appearance in a podcast hosted by an international personality. In January, he appeared in a podcast with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath.
