This is quite the exchange between the leader and leader-to-be of the world's two most populous presidential democracies . Trump tells Prabowo "your English is so good" and Prabowo replies: "Yes sir, all my training is American."
Glad to be connected directly with President Elect @realDonaldTrump to extend my heartfelt congratulations on his election as the 47th President of the United States. I am looking forward to enhance the collaboration between our two great nations and to more productive discussions in the future.
