With key swing states like Wisconsin putting him over the 270 electoral votes required to win the presidency, Trump’s triumph marked a historic moment in American politics.

Trump’s Win and the Future of US-India Relations

Trump’s “America First” approach, which focused on strengthening the US economy and ensuring global security through strong alliances, may continue to influence US-India relations. Trump’s stance on defense cooperation, counterterrorism efforts, and regional security in Asia could shape the future direction of the bilateral relationship.
