It's notable that the Ambani and Trump families have shared close ties for a long time. Mukesh Ambani participated in the Global Entrepreneurship Summit when Ivanka Trump visited Hyderabad in 2017. He was also involved in several events during Donald Trump's visit to India in 2020. This relationship grew even deeper in 2024 when Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and daughter Arabella Rose attended pre-wedding events for the Ambani family's youngest son, Anant Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
