'I will do it, I will do it, I will do anything necessary. We have defeated them for hundreds of years'....Same country you can probably guess. I said wow what happened there," Trump said.without naming Pakistan.

Trump also talked about the success of 'Howdy Modi' event in Houston, Texas, in 2019 when he was the President.

"They filled up the stadium, it was beautiful like 80,000 people it was going crazy and we're walking around today....we were walking in the middle, waving to everybody," he said.
