Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States has drawn support from Indian-origin US veterans who lauded his firm stance on border security and immigration. Trump, now in his second term, has pledged sweeping immigration reforms, including large-scale deportations and renegotiated tariffs with Mexico and Canada to combat illegal activities.
Veterans like Colonel Kohli applauded Trump’s holistic approach to border protection, citing the urgency of sealing the southern border to enhance national security. Colonel Divinder Singh dismissed fears of disruption under Trump, describing him as “authentic” and committed to his promises.
Colonel Balvinder Singh backed Trump’s focus on eliminating sanctuary cities, where illegal immigrants often reside, and praised his aim to prioritize American interests through renegotiated trade deals.
Regarding foreign policy, Colonel Divinder Singh noted Trump’s tough stance on China, identifying it as the US’s biggest competitor, while maintaining strategic cooperation with India. However, Colonel Pritpal Singh cautioned that Trump’s tariff policies on China could backfire, urging careful consideration of trade relations.
As Trump embarks on his second term, veterans expressed optimism about his leadership and hope for sustained focus on national security, economic growth, and robust international alliances.
