Washington, July 24: Claiming that differences have emerged between US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State on foreign policy issues, an American magazine today suggested that Hillary Clinton’s trip to India and Thailand has been her way to distance herself from the White House.
“The trip to India and Thailand, in one sense, is Clinton’s way of literally and figuratively distancing herself from Obama, her way of letting us know she has better policies for dealing with Beijing,” wrote Forbes columnists Gordon G Chang.
Author of the book “The Coming Collapse of China”, Gordon said that during her recent visit to India, Clinton devoted most of her time to relationship-building events.
“Clinton’s concept of siding with another large democracy seems much more attractive-and sustainable,” he wrote, adding most important, the US and India share values.
