Donald Trump Hosts Diwali Event, Says Will Take US-India Ties To Next Level Again

India was the only country for which the Trump administration came out with a 100-year plan; an honour not accorded to even America's top allies.
Former US President Donald Trump has promised that he will take America's relationship with India to the next level again if he wins the presidential election in 2024.
In a Diwali speech organised by Republican Hindu Coalition (RHC) at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump told a gathering of about 200 Indian-Americans that he shared a great relationship with Hindus, India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said he would nominate RHC founder Shalabh Kumar as his ambassador to India if he gets elected as the US president in 2024.
A video of Trump's speech at the Diwali reception last Friday was released by RHC on Tuesday, in which the former president says that he has not yet announced if he will run, but if he does, and goes on to win in 2024, he has certain commitments towards the Indian American community.
