Hindu American groups have expressed strong appreciation for Republican presidential candidate and former US President Donald Trump, following his recent commitment to safeguard the human rights of Hindus worldwide, including those residing in the United States and Bangladesh. Trump, in a message marking Diwali, vowed to shield Hindu communities globally from what he termed as the "anti-religion agenda of the radical left."

During his Diwali greetings delivered on Thursday, Trump condemned the "barbaric violence" inflicted on Hindus, Christians, and other minorities in Bangladesh, calling the situation in the country a "total state of chaos." Trump stated, “This would never have happened under my leadership. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have disregarded Hindus across the globe and in America. Their policies have been disastrous, from Israel to Ukraine and even on our Southern Border, but we will make America strong again and restore peace through strength."
