US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi share a special bond, says Trump, despite ongoing trade troubles.

But Trump made it clear: "India and the United States have a special relationship" and called Modi a "great prime minister." He assured, "There is nothing to worry about."
