1:46Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump endorsed India’s need for “border security” on Sunday at a rock concert-like event in Houston with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose government seeks to expand its control of the disputed territory of Kashmir.
The “Howdy, Modi” event held at an NFL football stadium was billed as a Texas-sized celebration of Indian-American ties. Modi used it to rally his supporters, show off his closeness with the U.S. president and take aim at India’s rivals, which notably include Pakistan.
Trump delivered a speech that risks being viewed as siding with India in its dispute with Pakistan, two countries Trump has offered to mediate between, though India has rebuffed the offer.
The U.S. president pledged expanded military cooperation with India, talked about the need to fight terrorism -- language Modi echoed soon after in an apparent swipe at Pakistan -- and called for more border security, drawing huge cheers from the raucous crowd.
“Border security is vital to the United States. Border security is vital to India, we understand that,” Trump said. He pledged to fight “radical Islamic terrorism” and insisted: “We must protect our borders.” All of the lines drew cheers.
