Shortly before his arrival in India, US President Donald Trump tweeted in Hindi that he was looking forward to the visit. "We are eager to visit India. We are on our way, will meet everyone in a few hours," said the tweet.
हम भारत आने के लिए तत्पर हैं । हम रास्ते में हैँ, कुछ ही घंटों में हम सबसे मिलेंगे!

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will receive Trump and US First Lady Melania Trump upon their arrival aboard the Air Force One flight, scheduled to land around 11.40am.
Trump and Modi will participate in a roadshow from the airport to the Sabarmati Ashram, and from there to the newly-built Motera cricket stadium, where over a lakh people are expected to be present for the 'Namaste Trump' event.
Dance groups and singers from different parts of the country will be performing on stages that are dotting the 22-km route of the 'India roadshow' in the city.
Huge billboards of the two leaders and replicas of historic places in Gujarat have also been placed along the roads where people will greet the two leaders.
