Trump's re-election strengthens U.S.-India ties as Modi seeks continued support

Donald Trump has been re-elected as U.S. President, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi quickly congratulated him, highlighting their close relationship. This follows a history of strong ties during Trump's first term, which saw enhanced defense cooperation between the two nations. Modi's government hopes for continued support from Trump on issues like terrorism and relations with Pakistan. The Trump administration previously suspended aid to Pakistan and designated a terrorist leader, actions that India viewed favorably. However, potential challenges may arise in trade and immigration. Trump has criticized India's trade practices and increased visa denial rates for Indian professionals during his first term. The impact of these issues on U.S.-India relations remains to be seen.
