Criticizing President Donald Trump for his comment on India’s air pollution, former Vice President and Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden said Saturday that he and his running mate Kamala Harris deeply value America’s partnership with India. .
“President Trump called India ‘unclean.’ It’s not about how you talk about friends and it’s not about how you solve global challenges like climate change, “Biden said in a tweet, two days after Trump during a presidential debate accused China, India and Russia of not take care of your “dirty” air.
“Look at China, how dirty it is. Look at Russia. Look at India. The air is dirty, ”Trump said during the final presidential debate with Biden in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday.
“Kamala Harris and I deeply value our partnership and will put respect back at the center of our foreign policy,” Biden said in a tweet Saturday while retweeting his op-ed in the latest issue of the ethnic weekly India West.
“The Obama-Biden years were some of the best we have had between our two countries. A Biden-Harris administration will build on that great progress and do even more. We can and must be natural allies, ”Biden wrote in the op-ed.
“So if I am elected president, I will continue what I have long called for: The United States and India will unite against terrorism in all its forms and work together to promote a region of peace and stability where neither China nor any other country threaten your neighbors, ”he said.
“We will open markets and increase the middle class in both the United States and India, and together we will confront other international challenges, such as climate change, global health, transnational terrorism and nuclear proliferation,” Biden said.
