Donald Trump once left Prime Minister Narendra Modi flabbergasted after he told him that India and China didn't share a border, revealing the US President's "woefully" poor knowledge of geography, according to a new book authored by two Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalists.
The 417-page book, 'A Very Stable Genius', written by Philip Rucker and Carol D Leonnig, detailed similar vivid incidents from Trump's tumultuous first three years as President, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
The businessman-turned-politician
The book claimed during one of his meetings with Modi, Trump told him, "It's not like you've got China on your border."
"After the meeting", the aide told the authors, "the Indians took a step back in their diplomatic relations with the United States."
