evidence: Intermingling between the Trump Organization and the Indian government was commonplace during the Trump Administration. Trump businesses received endless promotion and benefits from the Indian government while in office. Prime Minister Modi showered Trump with praise when he visited the United States in 2017. Promotional material for the Trump Tower in Mumbai flexed connections to the American president and his brand as a marketing point. Shortly after Ivanka Trump visited India in 2017, Modi’s party approved building clearances for the Trump Tower in Gurgaon in "no time." In February 2018 Trump Organization executive Donald Trump Jr. traveled to India to promote Trump Organization real estate developments in multiple cities. During this trip he had a closed-door meeting with Prime Minister Modi, and according to the Oversight report, netted $15 million in real estate sales for the Gurgaon developments. Trump repaid Modi by lauding him as a proponent of religious freedom on the world stage, despite Modi’s record as a nationalist who has implemented controversial anti-Muslim policies. Under his leadership "religious persecution and Islamophobia have increased sharply" in India. Trump showcased the strong strategic partnerships between the US and India by appearing alongside Prime Minister Modi at the "Howdy, Modi!" mega summit in Houston, Texas. Over 50,000 Indian-Americans attended the event, making it one of the largest receptions for a foreign leader in US history.
