Ahmedabad/IBNS: After a grand welcome and a brief visit to Sabarmati Ashram, US President Donald Trump arrived in Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday where he is scheduled to participate in the 'Namaste Trump' event.

Over 1 lakh people are present in the stadium, which was newly constructed recently, to witness Trump's visit to the Gujarat city, considered as one of the politically crucial states in the nation.
