US President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly said he is keen to work with India. He has also confessed a close connection with the Hindu community. "We did great with the Hindus, thank you," Trump said in a memorable speech, shortly after winning the presidential election.

On several occasions, Trump has stated he would work towards improving his country's relations with India and develop "fair and reciprocal" trading links between the two nations.

Going by the increasing numbers of Indians in the Trump administration, it won't be wrong to say he is, indeed, in the process of establishing an "army of Indo-Americans".

As of 18 September, the Trump administration has at least 9 Indian-Americans, some of whom hold high ranks in the Cabinet.
