Tens of thousands lined the streets to greet him in Ahmedabad city in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat.

Mr Trump and Mr Modi addressed more than 100,000 people at the Motera stadium, the world's largest cricket venue. It's thought the spectacle cost more than $13m (£10m) to host.
