Trump will have strong ties with India |
Under President Donald Trump, India and Indian-Americans will have a strong relationship with the US as he would be their "best friend" in the White House, a top Indian-American with the administration has said. Raj Shah, a 32-year-old who supports Trump`s communications team shape his media portrayal and narrative, said Trump as President and as presidential candidate went an extra mile to attract Indian-Americans to the Republican Party as a majority of them were supporters of the Democratic Party. This President has had a pretty notable outreach to the Indian-American community, both during the campaign and afterwards. Shah pointed out that Trump appointed Indian-American Nikki Haley as the US envoy to the United Nations - a Cabinet post - in a first for the community under any administration. Shah, whose parents migrated to the US in the 80s, was the Director of Opposition Research in the Republican National Committee, before he moved to the White House. With a team of researchers, Shah played a key role in digging up information on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. He was the backbone of all anti-Clinton research during the presidential campaign and getting inside the White House at a young age is said to be a reward for the behind-the-scenes player. He said Trump`s agenda would be great for Indian-Americans.
