India seeks to strengthen ties with US under new Trump presidency
India aims to strengthen its partnership with the US under President Donald Trump’s new term, focusing on trade, technology, and professional mobility. The Indian government expressed readiness to enhance collaboration for global peace and stability. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the first leaders to congratulate Trump, emphasizing a desire to renew their cooperation. India and the US resolved all pending trade disputes earlier this year, with two-way trade reaching $190 billion in 2023. Concerns exist regarding potential immigration restrictions affecting Indian professionals. However, Indian officials expect the US to differentiate between economically justified mobility and other forms of immigration. India seeks to promote legal migration while addressing issues of illegal residency.
