Trump Appoints India Critic Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff

US President Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller, a vocal critic of India, as White House Chief of Staff, drawing sharp criticism. Miller has previously made statements against India on various issues. Miller has criticized India's oil purchases from Russia and alleged unfair trade practices, which preceded US tariffs on Indian goods. He is also seen as influential in US decisions affecting Indian Americans, raising concerns about the bilateral relationship. The appointment follows the Republican Party's losses in the recent midterm elections, where anger among Indian Americans over taxes and green card policies was cited as a factor. Analysts warn this move could further strain India-US ties and impact the Indian American community.
