00:00The Quad has a lot of merit on its own. It has already done a great deal of work. It makes sense for countries like India, Australia, Japan, and the U.S. to come together and work in the Indo-Pacific region.
00:17And President Trump, even if he is unhappy with India or he is unhappy with the Quad, his term is only four years. We should not equate Trump with the U.S. India-U.S. relations has a very strong foundation. It is a mutually beneficial relationship.
00:36For the last 20-25 years, it has been steadily growing under different presidents in the U.S. and different governments in India.
00:45I do not see one individual presidency or even the current mood of President Trump as completely destroying that relationship or setting it back.
00:56And President Trump himself is known for being unpredictable and flip-flopping on his policy positions.
01:03India is engaged in talks with the U.S. and for all you know, President Trump may change his views in the future.
