Support for Asian Americans
Hillary Clinton had an article published on the website of the broadcaster NBC on Tuesday headlined, “As President, I Will Stand With Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders”.
The Democratic Party candidate promised she would roll out a series of policies, including an immigration reform to help Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders by speeding up the processing of visa applications.
She also brought up the “pivot to Asia” policy introduced during her term as Secretary of State, saying that maintaining strong ties with countries in the Asia-Pacific region would keep America safe.
NBC said it had also contacted Donald Trump to write a piece ahead of the November 8 election, but did not receive a reply.
