The United States Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has added India to the list of countries he believes are taking jobs away from Americans and vowed that if elected president, he will bring them back to the US. “We are going to take our jobs back from China and all of these other countries,” he said.

He made the remarks while predicting he will have great support from African-Americans. “You see stories of African-American leaders saying ‘my people really like Trump’ because I am going to bring jobs back from China, from Mexico, Japan and Vietnam and India...and all these places that are taking our jobs,” Trump told CNN. The real estate mogul said 58% of African-American youth in the US were unemployed, PTI reported. He added that in their prime, they are “substantially worse off than the whites”.

In his campaign so far, Trump has been openly critical of countries like China, Mexico and Japan for poaching jobs in the US, but has never before included India in his tirades. Trump swept the South Carolina Republican primary on Saturday. This was his second consecutive win in the Republican primaries – he won in New Hampshire as well – which strengthens his status as the frontrunner among the Republicans.
