Sam Brownback: “It seems to run counter to where the trend line is going or should be going for us to further this relationship.”

There are some good things happening.

I look forward to working with people, working with you, working with everybody, regardless of their ideas or views, on how we can advance the agenda of religious freedom.

The beauty of what this job has been I think under the prior administration and this one is that there are contentious issues that people do not agree upon.

I pledge to you my work to press the Government of India to be a government that honors religious freedom for everybody.
