Donald Trump’s historic victory in the presidential election. Big win over Kamala Harris. After 132 years in the United States, a former president won the presidential election again after losing the election. Trump is the second president in U.S. history to accomplish this feat. Importantly, even in a swing state, Trump won a lopsided victory. After the results were announced, Trump, along with Vice President-elect Vance and family members, addressed supporters. Trump said that in the next four years, he will work non-stop and tirelessly for the progress of the United States. Trump said that the next four years will be a golden period for the United States. Prime Minister Modi first congratulated Trump on social media and later congratulated Trump on his victory over the phone. Sources said that during the phone conversation, Trump described India as “a wonderful country” and Modi as “a wonderful leader” who is “loved by people around the world.”
The question is, what impact will the change of power in the United States have on our country and neighboring countries? Will Modi and Trump’s close friendship help further strengthen ties between the two countries? Trump is a businessman and an excellent dealmaker. Will Trump’s arrival affect India’s trade? Trump has advocated strict policies for people entering the United States. Will this affect Indians going to the United States?
Trump’s return to power is seen as the most powerful comeback in American political history. After losing to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, Trump faced many difficulties one after another. Republican supporters and bosses all abandoned Trump, but Trump refused to admit defeat and once again became America’s Big Boss. Trump has faced numerous political and court challenges over the past four years. In the end, he overcame all challenges and achieved a historic victory. This victory puts the United States in a strong position. There is no uncertainty about the government now.
The impact of a Trump victory on the entire world system will be obvious. Trump will work to end Russia’s war with Ukraine. India’s role in this could be important. In the past few months, Narendra Modi has tried to find a path to peace by meeting Putin three times and Zelensky twice. Trump’s victory will also affect the Arab world’s relations with Israel. As far as India is concerned, Trump’s victory can be viewed in two ways. First, in terms of Trump’s relationship with Modi. Clearly, Modi’s relationship with Trump is more personal and older than Kamala Harris’s. Both parties know and understand each other very well. Trump’s diplomatic style is people-oriented. He emphasizes personal relationships and Trump has said Narendra Modi is his friend and a strong leader. India would benefit from this idea.
The second parameter is India’s diplomatic needs. China has been challenging India. Now, the impact of the friendship between Trump and Modi will be felt here. Canada’s Justin Trudeau has become India’s new problem. He supported Khalistanis. The Biden administration appears to have Canada’s back. Now these equations will also change and India will emerge stronger in this matter.
Most importantly, Trump said I am a fan of India and a fan of Hindus. If I win, Hindus will have a true friend in the White House. No U.S. president has said such a thing in the past 200 years, and the impact is clear. Trump issued a statement saying: “I am a big fan of Hindus and I am a big fan of India. First of all, I want to say that if I are elected president, I will have a true friend of the Indian community and Hindus in the White House. I ensure.”
Bangladesh
Trump has shown similar enthusiasm for Bangladeshi Hindus, victims of violence. Therefore, there is no doubt that Trump’s victory in the United States will also affect India’s neighbors Pakistan and Bangladesh. Today, some of the effects are starting to become apparent. Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina congratulated Trump on his victory.
Sheikh Hasina is currently in Delhi. He said he was ready to work with Trump. As the chairperson of the Awami League, Hasina’s statement is of great significance. Because Bangladesh currently has the interim government of Muhammad Yunus. Yunus has close ties to the Clinton family. With the help of the Biden administration, he staged a coup in Bangladesh and became the head of an interim government. However, Trump’s stance on Bangladesh is very clear.
Trump took to Twitter on Diwali to strongly condemn the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. Trump has written that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are ignoring Hindus around the world, but he won’t let that happen. Trump has promised that if he becomes president, he will work to protect Hindus and stop forced conversions. Trump’s victory therefore serves as a wake-up call for fundamentalists in Bangladesh. It is in this context that Sheikh Hasina’s statement needs to be understood.
Pakistan
As far as Pakistan is concerned, Imran Khan’s supporters are very happy with Trump’s victory and they are celebrating and expressing hope that Trump will release Imran Khan from prison. But Trump, who was sitting with Imran Khan, said terrorists were sheltering in Pakistan and he would eliminate these terrorist bases. Trump took a tough stance against terrorist bases in Pakistan during his last term. Aid to Pakistan worth $24 billion was halted.
China
India’s third neighbor China is also worried about Trump’s victory. Trump launched a trade war against China during his last term. Imposing high tariffs on goods imported from China. The crackdown on Chinese companies has intensified. This affects business in both countries. This is why China’s attitude became tense after Trump returned to China. After the results came out, China reacted strongly. A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that no matter who is elected president of the United States, China will continue to implement its original policies and hopes that all parties will have a sense of mutual respect.
Europe Middle East
European leaders were also bewildered by Trump’s victory. Although politicians from various European countries have congratulated Trump, the reality is that European leaders are somewhat dissatisfied with Trump’s victory. Trump said during his last term that Europe should be responsible for its own security. How long will the United States bear their burden? He also demanded the payment of American soldiers stationed in Germany. This is why now if the US position changes, if Trump returns to his original policy, then all strategic equations in the world will be disrupted. This is what European leaders are worried about.
Europe is worried about the war in Ukraine. Trump continued to criticize the war in Ukraine throughout the campaign. He has always said that this is a useless war and that if he is elected president, he will one day end it. Trump repeated the same words in his victory speech. He said he won the election not to fight a war but to stop it. Russian President Vladimir Putin stopped short of congratulating Trump on his win, but the Kremlin said Russia would decide its stance only after seeing Trump’s policies and intentions.
But Iran must be shocked. Iran’s currency, the rial, fell sharply when news of Trump’s victory broke. Trump’s victory increases the threat to Iran because Trump has been adopting a very strict policy towards Iran. During his last term, Trump separated the United States from the Iran nuclear deal. New sanctions were imposed on Iran and threats were made to bomb the country. This time there is a war in Gaza. Israel is at war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. In this case, the United States may take direct action.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had a big thing to say about the war. Jaishankar said he did not think the United States would be part of any war now. On the contrary, the opposite may be true. Under Trump, the United States can withdraw troops from around the world. The foreign minister said that the United States began withdrawing troops from conflicts in other countries during the Obama era, Biden withdrew troops from Afghanistan, and Trump publicly stated that he would not participate in any war. Jaishankar is right when he says that the United States does not want to get involved in any new conflicts. All countries in the world involved in some kind of war understand this.
