Republican candidate Donald Trump said that he strongly condemned “the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos”.

In a post on X, he said, “It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America.

“They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength!” he wrote.

“We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom,” he added, “Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi.”
