Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony as the 47th President of the United States is going to be grand. Meanwhile, Trump has also made his intentions clear before taking the oath of the presidency. Trump has given clear indications of the direction foreign policy will take during his tenure. There are signs that Trump is focusing on Asia.
Trump wants to visit India and China
Donald Trump’s team says that after becoming president, he wants to visit India and China first. Trump’s initial visit plans to India and China clearly indicate that these two countries are to be high on his foreign policy agenda. India and China are the world’s largest markets and Trump is looking especially at these two large Asian countries to facilitate access to these markets.
Trump’s attitude towards China changed
Donald Trump wants to visit China to improve relations with Beijing, apart from this he has discussed with advisers a possible visit to India. Not only that, Trump has spoken on the phone with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump described the discussion with Xi as excellent. However, it is also worth noting that during his election campaign, Trump also warned of imposing additional duties on China. Now Trump’s changing stance is sending a clear message that he wants strained relations with China.
Why does Trump need friends?
Not only this, Trump has also spoken to his advisors about a possible visit to India. Giving priority to India and China over Europe, NATO and neighboring countries Canada and Mexico is also a big global message. It is clear that American trade can be boosted by relations with China and India. Trump is also a big businessman, so he knows very well that the economy cannot grow without trade. This is the reason why Trump is focused on India and China.
It is noteworthy that Donald Trump has already started working to solve the problems even before taking oath. Trump is also seriously considering domestic issues like price reduction. This is also evident from the list of 100 special guests for the swearing-in ceremony. Among these guests are Mukesh Ambani and his wife Nita Ambani including big industrialists from many countries. The way the Trump administration is proceeding on the foreign policy front distinguishes it from the policies of previous administrations.
