Jan 22, 2025

Washington DC (USA), January 22 (ANI): Former National Security Advisor of United States of America, pressed on the importance of bilateral relations between USA and India. He signifies the close and personal relation between PM Modi and President Trump. He also talked on various issue of world importance ranging from Russia-Ukraine war, H1b Visa and Panama Canal. John Bolton said, “Well, I think Prime Minister Modi does have a good personal relationship with Trump. I think that the Biden administration has made progress on the Asian security quad relationship, India, Japan, Australia, and the US. I hope Trump continues that. In the meetings that I attended between the two of them, when I was serving in the White House, almost the entire conversation turned on trade issues. Trade's important for every country and deserves high-level consideration. But there are important strategic issues where I think the US and India have a common relationship. I've said for some time that the bilateral relationship between India and the United States is probably the most important one we have in this century. So I'd like to see the PM and Trump get beyond trade issues. I'm not saying they should ignore them. Obviously, that won't happen. But they need to talk about these broader strategic questions as well.”
