With Trump crossing the majority mark, it is significant that during the election campaign both the rivals focused solely on the 7 swing states, all of which are led by Trump. Donald Trump has also won two of these.
Trump talked about strengthening India-US relations
Donald Trump has expressed commitment to strengthening relations between India and America. On the special occasion of Diwali, Trump posted on social media site X calling Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi his friend. He has also promised to further expand the partnership between the two countries when his government comes to power.
Condemn the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh
President Donald Trump has also strongly condemned the violence against Hindus and other minorities during the recent insurgency in Bangladesh. Till now many such reports have come out, which confirm that after the rebellion in Bangladesh, hundreds of Hindus faced fatal attacks.
Good relations with PM Modi
The chemistry between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also been much talked about. The close ties between the two leaders have been reflected in several high-profile events. “Howdy, Modi!” in Texas in 2019 This was evident at the rally, where Trump hosted Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of about 50,000 people. It was one of the largest gatherings ever held in the United States for a foreign leader.
When Donald Trump came to India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hosted him in the world's largest cricket stadium. During this time, more than 1 lakh 20 thousand people were present to welcome the American President. This coordination between the two leaders is not merely symbolic. The nationalist views of both are almost similar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'India first' vision and Donald Trump's 'America first' policy are quite similar, with both leaders emphasizing domestic development, economic nationalism and security of national borders.
economic and trade policies
The Donald Trump-led administration will clearly focus on US-centric trade policies. This will also put pressure on India to reduce trade barriers and tackle tariffs. In such a situation, exports of India's IT, pharmaceuticals and textile sectors may be affected on a large scale.
America is a big market for Indian products. If we look at the figures, India imported goods worth $42.2 billion from America in 2023-24. At the same time, India exported about 77.52 billion dollars to America. Regarding this, Trump said that if his government comes, he will change this situation and will also put pressure on India to reduce the tariff duty. If things still don't work out, he has warned of increasing taxes on products exported from India.
Security
Whatever concerns India has regarding China, they match the attitude of Donald Trump. Defense cooperation between India and the US has the potential to become better and stronger under the leadership of the Trump administration. Last time, during Trump's tenure, the Quad, the security partnership between the US, India, Japan and Australia, was strengthened to counter China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Additional joint military exercises, arms sales and technology transfers could strengthen India's defense capabilities amid tensions with neighboring countries such as China and Pakistan.
Immigration and H-1B visa policies
Donald Trump's restrictive policies on immigration, especially the H-1B visa program, have had a huge impact on Indian professionals in the US. Withdrawal of such policies will make it somewhat difficult for Indians to find employment in the American job market. Also, any sector that is heavily dependent on Indian workers could be affected. Additionally, stricter immigration laws may prompt Indian technology companies to explore other markets or create more opportunities in the domestic market.
geopolitical impact
Donald Trump's policies in South Asia can also affect India's regional interests. In fact, Trump has recently expressed his desire to work with Pakistan, but he has emphasized responsibility in counter-terrorism efforts while adopting a balanced approach. However, due to Trump's 'peace through strength' mantra, the US may take a tough stance on terrorism and extremism, which may work in India's favour. Trump had also cut military aid to Pakistan during his previous tenure.
