President Trump said on Sunday he will have the 'biggest event they've ever had in India' when he holds a rally at the world's largest cricket stadium as part of his two-day visit there.

'I hear it's going to be a big event. Some people say the biggest event they've ever had in India. that's what the prime minister told me - this'll be the biggest event they've ever had. So it's going to be very exciting,' he said.

The stadium he'll visit holds 110,000 people and it remains to be seen how many will gather along the route the president will take to the event.

The president and first lady Melania departed the White House Sunday morning for their 14-hour flight across the Atlantic. Melania wore black and white stripped pants with a black turtleneck and long black coat. She also sported sunglasses and white loafers instead of her usual stiletto heels.
