Modi swooped in for two big bear hugs with the U.S. president during their joint statements in the Rose Garden, wrapping his arms around Trump's midsection and ending their first embrace with a lingering handshake that stretched the president's arm between their two lecterns.  After wrapping up his own remarks, the much shorter Modi hugged Trump a second time, placing his head close to the president's shoulder in video that quickly spread around social media.
