"India is doing great," Trump said. This is for the first time Trump has given a glimpse of his views about India since launching his presidential campaign last year.
Trump (69) has been openly critical about many countries like China, Mexico and Japan in many of his speeches. Trump made the remarks in response to a question on America's standing in the world and in a similar interview.
"That was the beginning of China. That was the beginning of India, when India - by the way, India is doing great. Nobody talks about it. And I have big jobs going up in India. But India is doing great," Trump said. Trump has a number of real estate interests in India.
"Look at everything I told you. Everything I told you is all right, whether it's Iraq, whether it's Iran, whether it's China, whether it's India, whether it's Japan," Trump said.
"Just look at this country. We have gone from this tremendous power that was respected all over the world to somewhat of a laughing stock," he had then said.
