President Donald Trump made his stance clear on Khalistani separatists operating in the United States against India and said that his administration, unlike that of former President Joe Biden, was ready to make things better for India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump met for the first time since the latter’s return to the White House for a second term. The two leaders held bilateral talks at the White House where they talked about trade, tariffs and immigration, among other issues.
Responding to a question on Khalistani separatists in the US working against India, President Trump said, “I don’t think India had a good relationship with the Biden administration…A lot of things happened that weren’t very appropriate between India and the Biden Administration."

On extradition of Tahawwur Rana, an accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to India, Donald Trump said, “We are giving a very violent man (Tahawwur Rana) back to India immediately. There are more to follow because we have quite a few requests.”
India was seeking the extradition of Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin. This was Rana’s last legal chance not to be extradited to India. Earlier, he lost a legal battle in several federal courts, including the US Court of Appeals for the North Circuit in San Francisco.
