'Don't believe me? Ask Jaishankar': Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna on Trump disrupting India-US ties

Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna has cautioned that former President Donald Trump could disrupt ties between India and the United States. In a statement, Khanna said, "Don't believe me? Ask Jaishankar," referring to India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.

Khanna, a Democratic representative from California, made the remarks amid ongoing political debates about the future of bilateral relations. He suggested that Jaishankar would corroborate concerns about Trump's impact on the partnership.

The congressman did not provide specific examples of how Trump might harm ties but implied that the former president's policies and rhetoric could strain the relationship. Khanna has been a vocal advocate for strengthening India-US cooperation.

Jaishankar has previously worked closely with U.S. officials during his tenure as India's foreign secretary and later as external affairs minister. His perspective, Khanna argued, would validate warnings about potential disruptions under a Trump administration.
