Police have used tear gas to disperse large crowds protesting a new citizenship law in India's capital New Delhi just a day before US President Donald Trump begins a two-day visit of the country.

In the latest eruption of violence at protests on Sunday, hundreds of people supporting the new law clashed with those opposing it, with the two groups pelting each other with stones in the Maujpur area in the northeastern part of the city, according to television footage.

The speech praised India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and highlighted the success of recent policies to improve the country.

We looked at some of the claims.

Claim 1: Trump said: "Since the turn of the century, the size of the Indian economy has grown over six times in size."
Reality check: Measured in terms of GDP - the sum of the value of goods and services produced in the economy - President Trump is correct.

In 2000, India's GDP was $477 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). By 2019, that figure had risen to an estimated $2,940bn.

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump took a hand-in-hand stroll Monday through the well-manicured grounds and along a reflecting pool of the famed Taj Mahal in India.

On their flight to Agra during the president’s first official visit to the country, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he’d never been to the iconic 17th-century mausoleum, but that he’s heard it’s “incredible.”

Larger-than-life-size cutouts of Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the president along the route from the airport as crowds waved tiny Indian and American flags.
