Juster : India could become preferred dest for US comp over China

US ambassador to India Kenneth Juster said on Thursday that some refinements in the visa processes could take place but United States will be a country of immigrants.

Juster added that India has the opportunity of becoming a preferred destination for US companies, over China, and that there is no contradiction between the Trump administration's America First policy and the Narendra Modi government's Make in India campaign

"The US is a country of immigrants and that's what helped drive our economy and our growth and made us what we are. And that's not going to change," said the envoy. He added that Washington was in the midst of a periodic review of visa processes. "Inevitably there are going to be some refinements but that will not change the fundamental fact that the US is a country of immigrants," he said.
