As the political landscape in the United States continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: the future of Indo-US relations looks particularly promising should Donald Trump return to the White House. This optimism is rooted in a shared desire for pragmatic foreign policy and a recalibration of ties, particularly in light of the challenges faced under the Biden administration.
India, which has long been one of the US's most strategic partners in the Indo-Pacific, sees a potential Trump presidency as an opportunity to repair the damage caused by Biden's policies. The relationship between the two countries took a significant hit over several controversial issues, most notably the alleged assassination attempt scandal of Summer 2023.
Tensions deepened with American interference in India's recent general elections, creating a sense of distrust.
Furthermore, India was taken aback by the US-backed regime change in Bangladesh, an event that many Indians viewed as a betrayal of their regional security interests. Compounding these issues was the pressure on India to abandon its ties with Russia, a longstanding partner in defence and trade.
However, these setbacks could soon be seen as bygones, particularly if Trump brings a team of Indian Americans and Indiafriendly officials back to Washington, as many anticipate. One of the most pivotal figures in this potential reshuffling is Kashyap Patel, a key Trump ally, who is rumoured to be under consideration for CIA Director.
Patel's confirmation would be seen as a positive move for India, especially considering his deep understanding of South Asian geopolitics and the need for a strong IndoUS relationship.
