“Kashmir is the most sensitive issue for every Indian, as well as every Indian-American. Trump has never interfered in the Internal affairs of India – Kashmir – which is an integral part of India. No other US President has stood up to China as much as President Trump has,” PTI quotes Al Mason, co-chair of the Trump Victory Indian Finance Committee and Indian Voices for Trump, as saying.
The Trump campaign’s pitch focuses a lot on the economic advantages of a Trump presidency for Indian-Americans and India. They argue that during Trump’s tenure, energy exports from US to India have grown, India has purchased historic amounts of military equipment from the US including Apache helicopters, and Indian steel companies were investing in the US.
“The Indian-American community is filled with hard-working achievers who create jobs, technology, and small businesses, all of which have thrived thanks to Trump,” says Harneet Kaur Dhillon, co-chair of Indian Voices for Trump, according to PTI.
She is also reported to have added that “In addition to these economic metrics, the administration’s focus on equal opportunity as opposed to quotas has ensured educational and job opportunities for Indian-American students and workers.”
