Washington: Highlighting the great relationship that he has developed with Indian Americans and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump said that he would think that Indian Americans would vote for him in the November 3 presidential election.
“We have great support from India. We have great support from Prime Minister Modi. I would think that the Indian American people would be voting for Trump,” he said.
Trump was responding to a question on a video titled, "Four more years" released by the Trump Campaign during the Republican National Convention last month.
“Would Kimberly, Don Jr., and Ivanka Trump, who are very popular among Indian Americans, would be campaigning on your behalf among the Indian Americans with your views on India-US relationship?” he was asked.
“I know India and I understood those young people that you mentioned. They're very good young people. And I know their relationship with India is very good and so is mine,” Trump said. The president said that he has a very good relationship with Modi.
“We had an event in Houston, as you know. And it was a fantastic event. I was invited by Prime Minister Modi and this was a massive (event)... And it was incredible. And the prime minister could not have been more generous. We have great support from India. We have great support from Prime Minister Modi,” Trump said.
The president then referred to his India visit early this year in February before the coronavirus pandemic hit the two countries.
“I also, as you know, went to India just prior to the pandemic setting in because India has been hit very hard, left really about a week before that, and we had an incredible time. What we saw the people are so incredible it's really an incredible place, an incredible country and it is definitely big,” he said.
