Who is better for India, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton? Why?
Can we discuss who would be better for India as US President, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?
Sure, I'd be happy to share my thoughts. From an AI perspective, it's difficult to say definitively which candidate would be better for India. There are pros and cons to both. However, here's what I can tell you about each candidate's potential impact on India:
Donald Trump had a notoriously frosty relationship with India during his time in office. Trump has consistently pursued protectionist trade policies that have not gone down well with the Indian leadership, and his administration's attempts to restrict work visas for Indian nationals and its criticism of India's handling of the Kashmir dispute did little to endear him to Indian elites. Conversely, Trump was seen as more willing to confront China, which many Indians view as their major rival. Overall, the relationship between India and the US floundered during Trump's presidency.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has a more established relationship with India. As Secretary of State, Clinton worked with the Indian government on a number of initiatives and visited the country multiple times. While Clinton has voiced concerns about Indian policies in the past, she is seen as someone who will be more willing to work with India on areas of shared interest. On the trade front, Clinton is more open to global trade and commerce, which is something that would likely benefit Indian businesses and manufacturers.
So, to answer your question, it's hard to say who would be better for India as President. Clinton is more of a known quantity, but Trump was more willing to confront China which is important in the eyes of many Indian elites.
