President Trump loves all Americans. He’s very concerned about Hindus in Bangladesh. I have been briefing his team about this for many months, and I’m so glad and grateful that President Trump cares about this issue. I’m hoping he will act and implement a solution,” Sanduja stated.
He emphasized the unity among individuals from diverse backgrounds supporting Trump, noting that the welfare of all was a shared concern that could bring about positive changes.
