Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, a life-long Republican who served George W.

By asking "So what if he is Muslim?", General Powell has gone where no US politician , including Obama, has ever dared to go before him.

The new Trump administration seems to be rejecting such talk. Prior to his recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House, President Donald Trump described India as the "worst abuser of tariffs" and announced "reciprocal tariffs" on Indian…
