Trump, 77, has lavished praise on the 38-year-old Indian-American presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy, calling him a "smart, young guy" days after he caught the attention of the American media following his maiden Republican presidential primary debate
Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy has acknowledged that there were some "very small" differences between him and former US president Donald Trump but they were "deeply aligned" on policy issues, 90-plus per cent of the way” as the two fight it out for the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 2024.
Speaking to Fox News on Friday about his policy differences with Trump, his fellow Republican rival in the race for the party's nomination next year, Mr Ramaswamy, a multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur, said he and Trump were “the two ‘America-first' candidates” in the race.
“I think we have an opportunity to reunite this country around our shared ideals, and that will allow me to take the America First agenda even further than Donald Trump did, by building on what I think is a very good foundation that he laid,” Mr Ramaswamy said.
