The White House has said that the India-US relations have gained strength during President Barack Obama’s regime and hoped it would continue with the same momentum in the Donald Trump Administration.
“I know that President Obama speaks to his counterparts as heads of state frequently. Prime Minister (of India) Modi is one that he enjoys speaking with. They touch base regularly,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz told reporters on Saturday.
“So it’s a good thing for the United States if that relationship continues in some strength,” he said. Schultz was responding to a question on remarks made by President-elect Donald Trump before the elections in which he called for a string India-US relationship,” he said.
