The enthusiasm and vibes between Modi and Musk were unmistakable at their meeting, Thursday, in the Blair House which is situated across from the White House and serves as the president's official guest residence.

Modi presented classic Indian books to Musk's children. Among the literary works were Rabindranath Tagore's 'The Crescent Moon', 'The Great RK Narayan Collection', and 'Panchatantra' by Pandit Vishnu Sharma.

Today, at the White House, with India's leader by his side, President Trump told the press, "It's a great honor to have Prime Minister Modi of India. He is a great friend of mine for a long time. We have had a wonderful relationship and we kept the relationship during a four year period...

We have just started up again. We have, I think, some very big things to talk about. Number one is, they are going to be purchasing a lot of our oil and gas. We have more oil and gas than any other country in the world by far. They need it, and we have it.

We are going to talk about trade. We are going to talk about many things.

But, it's really an honor to see you", he told Modi. "You have been my friend for a long time. Congratulations on having done a great job".
