India's foreign minister predicts U.S. isolationism will continue after election

India's Foreign Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, stated that the U.S. is likely to adopt a more isolationist stance, regardless of the election outcome. He highlighted a trend of reduced global commitments since President Obama’s administration. Jaishankar pointed to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and a general reluctance to deploy troops as evidence of this shift. He emphasized that this trend is not solely dependent on the current administration's ideology. Despite these changes, Jaishankar affirmed that India's relationship with the U.S. will continue to strengthen. He and other foreign ministers discussed the need for collaborative efforts to shape a favorable global environment.
