US-India ties at its lowest in 30 yrs: Indian-American Democrat leader

Washington, June 30: The US-India relationship is at its lowest point in the last 30 years due to US President Donald Trump’s “utterly destructive policies”, Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna has said.
Addressing the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum Leadership Summit in Washington, Khanna on Monday claimed that during his recent visit to China, India’s ambassador there had told him that a generation of trust was lost due to Trump’s policies.
“Now, you know I’m not one to mince words. I sort of tell things as they are. The US-India relationship has been at its lowest point in the last 30 years,” Khanna said.
“Trump’s policies of getting into a war with Iran have been utterly destructive. It has been utterly destructive to the prices of gas in India. Talk to (External Affairs Minister S) Jaishankar if you don’t believe me,” he added.
“I was in China, and the Indian Ambassador there told me that a generation of trust has been lost by President Trump. If we don’t speak the truth about the damage this President has done…we are not living in reality,” Khanna said. (PTI)
