Kumar noted that the president had backed off from taking a stand on India’s revocation of Article 370, which provided special autonomous status to the Kashmir region. This has brought in criticism from other Indian-American Republicans as well.

“Why can’t Trump mandate mask-wearing? COVID-19 would be over in three months,” Kumar added, comparing it to the mandatory wearing of seat belts.
South Asian Republican Coalition’s Hemant Bhatt, however, has spoken in support of Trump’s actions on COVID-19. He has noted that the president immediately banned travel from China, and is working to create supply chains, which can quickly move a vaccine to market.
