US President Donald Trump while addressing APECsummit applauded Indian PM Narendra Modi and India for achieving 'astounding growth'. He praised PM Modi for bringing the country's people "together as one...very, very successfully". Trump said "Since India opened its economy it has achieved astounding growth and a new world of opportunity for its expanding middle class, and PM Modi has been working to bring that vast country and all of its people together as one, and he's working at it very, very successfully indeed,". At the same time, in what was seen as sharp rebuke to China, Trump railed against trade practices he said have put Americans out of work and warned that the US would no longer ``turn a blind eye'' to trade abuses.
