Quote:India will purchase several military-grade helicopters from the United States as part of a $3 billion defense deal, President Trump announced during his state visit.

Prior to his stop by the Taj Mahal in Agra, Trump delivered a speech on Monday alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Sardar Patel Stadium, India’s largest cricket stadium, which can house more than 100,000 people. He said the U.S. approved India’s purchase of several military helicopters as part of a larger defense deal between the two democracies.

“The United States looks forward to providing India with the best and most-feared military equipment on the planet. We make the greatest weapons ever made — airplanes, missiles, rockets, ships. We make the best, and we are dealing now with India,” the president said.

“Namaste, and hello to India. This is such a great honor,” Trump said in greeting the crowd. “The first lady and I have just traveled 8,000 miles around the world to deliver a message to every citizen across this nation: America loves India, America respects India, and America will always be faithful and loyal friends to the Indian people.”

Trump also tweeted in Hindi, touting the relationship between the U.S. and India.

The two nations were set to discuss trade during the state visit, but Trump said no deal has been finalized. He told reporters that he felt “no rush” to complete negotiations, adding, “We are doing well with India, we are making deals.”

Trump’s speech was met with warm applause from the packed stadium. He thanked the crowd for the “spectacular welcome” and said he would never forget the “remarkable hospitality” of the Indian people.

I sense a MIGA movement building.

I bet the stench in there was incredible. Thousands of gallons of curry sweat evaporating into the air. Trump is going to need to burn that suit.

LOL...I remember Robin Givens..Howard Sterns radio co-host once on a whim decided to go to India for a holiday. She arrived in New Delhi and never left the Airport because the smell made her nauseated. She got back on the next flight to the US.

I lived in a highrise in DC that was mostly Ethiopians. Not exactly the same as Indian food, but spice and curry heavy. My clothes smelled awful all the time, no matter how much I washed them.

I own a contracting business in Charlotte and Raleigh, and we have had real estate agents tell us they have tremendous difficulty selling Indian homes because it's simply impossible to get the smell out without gutting the home. Some Indians now will put a second kitchen in their garages for cooking Indian food and only use the normal kitchen for non-Indian dishes to prevent this problem.

I hear it smells the same in a Bernie rally. No, I take that back. I heard of an Indian (from India of course) who out of curiosity went to one of Bernies rallies and had to leave because he said it smelled worst than in India and had to leave. No seriously.

That’s SOOO wrong, but unfortunately sooo right.

Love me some curry, but perhaps once every ten days or month or so? Can we please?

Used to play some pretty good, sweaty volleyball matches against a pretty good team of Injuns.

Left the YMCA gym a little different place every Wednesday night.

Then we all went and had beers. Good folk, just, you know. C’mon man
