Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has praised Hindu community’s “fantastic” contributions to world civilisation and American culture.
Trump, 70, also confirmed that he would be addressing an Indian-American event in New Jersey next month, the proceeds of which will benefit global victims of Islamic terror.
“The Hindu community has made fantastic contributions to world civilisation and to American culture and we look forward to celebrating our shared values of free enterprise, hard work, family values, and a strong American foreign policy,” Trump said in a statement.
He issued a short 24-second video message inviting Indian-Americans to attend the “incredible” event on October 15.
