Modi offered yet another embrace as he departed the White House. After shaking Trump's hand, Modi went in for a third and final public hug — resting his head first near Trump's left shoulder, then near his right. Trump welcomed the parting gesture, patting Modi kindly on the back. Trump welcomed Modi to the White House for their first in-person meeting and both sought to convey warm relations between the two global powers. The president said he had lived up to his campaign promise to give India "a true friend in the White House" and announced that daughter Ivanka Trump had accepted an invitation to visit India this fall.

Modi swooped in for two big bear hugs with the U.S. president during their joint statements in the Rose Garden, wrapping his arms around Trump's midsection and ending their first embrace with a lingering handshake that stretched the president's arm between their two lecterns. After wrapping up his own remarks, the much shorter Modi hugged Trump a second time, placing his head close to the president's shoulder in video that quickly spread around social media.
