Amid serious deliberations on Kashmir and trade, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump shared some light moments before the reporters Monday.
It started when Modi asked reporters to let the leaders talk in privacy and added that if anything important is there, they will be informed. Following which, Trump immediately chipped in to say that Modi speaks “very good English”.
“He actually speaks very good English. He just doesn’t want to now,” said President Trump.
Both broke into a burst of hearty laughter after that, with Modi reaching out for Trump’s hand.

PM Modi made it clear that any issues between India and Pakistan are purely bilateral and mediation from other countries is unwanted.
