The Indian embassy in Washington did not respond ❀to a💃 request for comment Tuesday night.
Earlie🅘r this year, Trump met with other foreign leaders, including Hung๊ary's nationalist prime minister Viktor Orbán, whom he regularly mentions in speeches, and Polish President Andrzej Duda, who once proposed naming a military base in his country "Fort Trump."
Trump also met with British PM and💙 Foreign Secre𒈔tary David Cameron.
