The Unlikely Relationship of Trump and Modi

Excerpt: This week, President Trump became the seventh sitting American president to visit India. But no presidential visit has been as important to the world’s largest democracy. Most of these past visits were largely celebratory in nature, involving vague proclamations about the future potential of a relationship between the two countries. But that relationship may have finally turned a corner. To understand why Trump has become smitten with India as a partner, you must understand why he values Indian prime minister Narendra Modi as a confidant and ally. And to understand this relationship, you really must understand Modi the person. [This is a great article! The Obama administration  wouldn’t even talk to this guy. Trump and Modi have formed a strong relationship that has India now being our major non-NATO partner in Asia for military, naval, and intelligence matters. Conceivably, we may even end up as allies, something that was unthinkable even 10 years ago. There are a good many trade issues to work out, but this is looking really promising. Wouldn’t that be a stick in China’s eye, too (the Indians and Chinese have gone to war at least twice since India became independent after WWII). Ron P.]
