Donald Trump Jr is all praises for the Indian media, which he has termed "mild and nice" compared to the "aggressive" media back in the US.

Trump Jr., who arrived in India earlier this week to promote the Trump Organisation's various projects across the country, was a speaker at the Global Business Summit where he praised Indian media.

"They are so mild and nice," he said, adding he might be the first person in history to say he loved Indian media.

Trump Jr. related to an incident where he said Indians have smiling faces despite the hardships they face.

"It wasn't me coming here for first time. It was me coming here (India) after 10 years. So everybody understood what I meant. But the 'Washington Post' the next day said -- 'Donald Trump Jr likes poor people because they smile'," he said.

Before Trump Jr's arrival, national newspaper ads featured a picture of the President's son with the promise of "a conversation and dinner" with him. Ethics watchdogs weren't happy with what these ads portrayed.

"These advertisements brazenly suggest that people can purchase access to the son of the President of the United States," said Noah Bookbinder, the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, was quoted as saying by CNN. "It is an example both of the President and his family using his office to enrich themselves and of an instance where the President's decision-making may end up being influenced by those who support his businesses."
At the business summit, Trump Jr. was initially scheduled to speak on a session titled  "Reshaping Indo-Pacific Ties: The New Era of Cooperation." However, the title was changed to "Fireside Chat with Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President, The Trump Organisation, after objections were raised over the President's son mixing politics with his business projects.
The Trump Organisation currently has five projects in India, making the subcontinent one of the largest markets for the business outside the United States of America.
