The crowd stood on chairs and made a beeline towards the stage area to see Trump up close and take pictures. The crowd constantly cheered for Trump, who spoke for about 13 minutes, vowing to make India and the US “best friends”.
The people also broke into applause as Trump outlined his vision to take India-US bilateral relations to greater heights under a “Trump administration”.
The event included performances by singer Kushal Paul, dance group Signature and local dance groups of young Indian-American children.
In a video message, Senator Newt Gingrich described Kumar a “good friend” who has worked for the “best interests” of India and US. He said the Republican Hindu Coalition is a very important building block for the future of America.
Himesh, a local resident, said Trump will improve America’s relations with India, particularly in the area of economy and business.
He, however, noted that Trump’s speech was “very generic and not very detailed” but described him as a “very positive” person who has the potential to do something if he has a “good core team around him”.
