This encounter emphasizes the long-standing ties that the Ambanis have cultivated with the Trump family. This has been re-stated with each high-profile encounter.
A History of Close Ties
The Ambani family has been allied with the Trumps over the years. It dates back to when Mukesh was present in Hyderabad in 2017 when Ivanka was in the country for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit.
During the state visit of President Trump to India in 2020, Mukesh Ambani, did the honors of welcoming him.
The bond only grew deeper when, in 2024, Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their daughter Arabella Rose arrived to partake. It was in the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Ivanka often shared photos on social media from the occasion, praising Indian tradition and hospitality. Star-Studded Inaugural President-elect Trump’s second inauguration is an affair that will be graced by international leaders and eminent personalities. Set to attend will be presidents of the United States, both incumbent and past. It includes: Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, among business magnates such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and Mark Zuckerberg.
Leaving further distinction, heads of tech giants-Sundar Pichai of Google, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Dara Khosrowshahi of Uber-shall also grace the function. The presence of the three reinforces expectations of further policy realignments. It will be to favor the aforementioned companies while they have muscularly acted in strengthening Trump’s inaugural fund.
