Tulsi Gabbard, the US Director of National Intelligence, recently visited India, emphasizing the significant opportunities in US-India relations amid concerns over President Trump's foreign policy. At the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi, she praised Trump's pragmatic approach to peace and security, aligning it with Indian Prime Minister Modi's nationalism. Gabbard highlighted the importance of building relationships to benefit mutual interests, even as Trump's actions raise questions among traditional allies. She also called for leaders willing to challenge established norms to achieve global peace.
During her remarks, Gabbard referred to Modi and Trump as 'great friends.' The leaders met last month in Washington for talks including trade and defense ties. After meeting Gabbard, Modi said in a statement that he looked forward to welcoming Trump to India later this year.
Gabbard, who is at the head of 18 US intelligence agencies, told the strategic conference that achieving peace 'requires leaders who challenge the established view or, the way things have always been done.'
The relationships we build together are critical to advance our mutual interests. Trump's recent moves calling NATO security commitments into question have alienated Washington's traditional allies in Europe.
Gabbard told a security conference in New Delhi that Trump's 'commitment' to ensuring peace and security is rooted in 'realism' and 'pragmatism.'
