US President Donald Trump, appearing virtually at the 250th US Independence Day celebrations hosted by the US Embassy in New Delhi on May 25, said India could count on him 100 per cent and described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a close friend. Trump also praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was in India for the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.
Separately, on August 14, Rubio issued a statement greeting India on its 80th Independence Day, saying the bilateral relationship is stronger than ever thanks to the personal rapport between Trump and Modi. He highlighted cooperation in defence, energy, critical minerals, AI, space, and commerce, adding that US-India collaboration makes the Indian Ocean region safer.
Several US states and lawmakers issued proclamations declaring August 15 as India Day, acknowledging the diaspora’s contributions.
