The swearing-in ceremony of Donald Trump as the 47th President of America is going to be grand. Meanwhile, Trump has also made his intentions clear before taking the oath of office. Trump has given clear indications of the direction in which foreign policy will go during his tenure. There are indications 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 early visit plans to India and China clearly indicate that these two countries are at the top of his foreign policy agenda. India and China are the biggest markets in the world and Trump is especially eyeing these two big Asian countries to ease 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 also discussed with advisors a possible visit to India. Not only this, Trump has talked to Chinese President Xi Jinping on phone. Trump described the discussion with Xi as excellent. However, it is also worth noting that during his election campaign, Trump had also warned of imposing additional duties on China. Now Trump’s changing stance is sending a clear message that he wants tense relations with China.
Why does Trump need friends?
Not only this, Trump has also talked to his advisors regarding 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 relations with China and India can boost US trade. Trump is also a big businessman, so he knows very well that the economy cannot progress without trade. This is the reason why Trump’s focus is on India and China.
It is noteworthy that Donald Trump has started working to solve the problems even before taking oath. Trump is also seriously considering domestic issues like price cuts. This is also evident from the list of 100 special guests for the swearing-in ceremony. These guests include big industrialists from many countries including Mukesh Ambani and his wife Nita Ambani. The way the Trump administration is moving forward on the foreign policy front, makes it different from the policies of previous governments.
