Come September, global futurists are scrambling to anticipate how a second term of Trump’s Presidency bodes for the world and India. According to the latest opinion poll by New York Times, Kamla Harris has a marginal edge over Donald Trump. But, it does not foretell the demise of Trump chances for a second term.
Kamla Harris, though half Indian by heritage, does not augur well for special priority on USA-India relations. The reality lies with the background during the Biden administration, when strengthening of US-India relation was geared by President initiative, rather than Harris’ Indian heritage, the then Vice-President..
It is a mix of concern and comforts, If Trump comes back in power. Trump’s emphatic focus on protectionism is a matter of concern. At the same time Trump’s hard stand against China bodes well for India in the wake of Trump likely using India to counterbalance China in Indo Pacific region.
Donald Trump said he would impose a 10 percent import tariff on all nations and 60 percent on China. His America First policies will get a push to instill confidence of Americanization in every policy where “Every decision on trade, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families”, which was outlined during Trump’s first term
