US President Donald Trump has thanked India for naming a road after him in Hyderabad, Telangana. In a post on Truth Social, the US President highlighted the naming of Donald Trump Avenue, saying he had become the first US President to have a road in India named in his honour.

Earlier this week, Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu unveiled the plaque officially renaming the road beside the US Consulate in Hyderabad as Donald Trump Avenue. The road was named in honour of America’s 250th Independence anniversary. The US Consulate General in Hyderabad also thanked the authorities for the recognition, describing it as a testament to the ever-strengthening partnership between India and the United States.
