Editorial Perspective

  • It appears that the US citizens elected Trump to the presidency with the intent of prioritizing their own country’s interests. Let us hope that Trump will, unlike former US presidents, avoid interfering in other nations’ affairs.
  • Trump considers Modi a friend, and he made statements concerning the Hindus of Bangladesh a few days before the election. This has raised hopes among Hindus that Trump will take concrete actions beneficial to India and for the protection of Hindus.
