US President Donald Trump has presented America’s highest military decoration, The Legion of Merit, to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for elevating strategic partnership of the two countries.
Official sources said, The Legion of Merit, Degree Chief Commander, bestowed on Prime Minister Modi on behalf of the President, is a rarely-awarded, prestigious decoration that can only be bestowed by Trump, typically to heads of state or heads of government of other countries.
India’s Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, accepted the award on behalf of the Modi from the US National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien at the White House.
