Indian American supporters of President Donald Trump believe that the relationship between the United States and India is heading towards a brighter future.
“This is the beginning of a new era, new dawn of new (US-India) relationship,” Digvijay Singh ‘Danny’ Gaekwad, who worked closely with Trump and his election campaign, told PTI.
“With Trump becoming the president, a new India-US relationship will begin. This one President in my lifetime, who has come on a national television and said I love India, I love Indians, I want to help India, I want to fight terrorism. It that is not enough then what is enough,” The hotelier and a first general successful entrepreneur from Florida said.
“No President has ever said this on a national television at the election time. He is not afraid. He is the new breath in the time,” Gaekwad said.
“He understands India very well. I have not met a presidential candidate in my lifetime who knows about India, who has been to India and who understands India and who ever dared to say in the middle of a heated political debate that I love India and I love Hindus,” he added.
A member of the Trump’s Asian American and Pacific Islanders Advisory Committee, Harry Walia opined that the US-India relationship is going to be fantastic.
“The relationship is going to be fantastic because we are natural allies. Trump has already made a statement that we are going to be best friends,” he told PTI referring to the October Edison speech of President Donald Trump.
“With Trump inside the White House, Walia said, is expects “ a very open dialogue” between India and the US.
“And it would be fruitful on defense side and economic side. Trump recognizes US relationship with India is very different that the rest of the countries that he has been mentioning. Because we bring talent, we are economic engines in America. We are a peaceful community. We are activist in mainstream and we do not talk trash to anyone. We contribute a lot to the American society,” he said.
California-based K V Kumar told to PTI that the relationship between US and India would be far better than it has been under any other American president.
“He is a businessman. He is going to establish a good business relationship with India. And India will greatly benefit from his administration,” Kumar said.
