America loves India," said President Donald Trump and thanked "friend" Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his greetings on the United States Independence Day.

"Thank you my friend. America loves India!," Donald Trump tweeted.

On Saturday, PM Modi tweeted: "I congratulate @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and the people of the USA on the 244th Independence Day of the USA. As the world's largest democracies, we cherish freedom and human enterprise that this day celebrates. @WhiteHouse"

Earlier in the day, Donald Trump vowed to “safeguard our values” from enemies within -- leftists, looters, agitators, he said -- in a July 4 speech packed with all the grievances and combativeness of his political rallies.

Donald Trump watched paratroopers float to the ground in a tribute to America, greeted his audience of front-line medical workers and others central in responding to the coronavirus pandemic, and opened up on those who "slander" him and disrespect the country's past.
