Watch: Trump 2.0: What should India watch out for?
The Hindu
America has voted and chosen Donald Trump. What does Mr. Trump 2.0 mean for India, South Asia and the World? Should New Delhi roll out the red carpet for bilateral ties and bonhomie between the leaders, but brace for Trump’s tough talk on trade, tariffs and other issue?
The world view of many countries, especially the US has definitely changed with this week’s election results. Donald Trump, US’s 45th President will now also be its 47th President come January. We will discuss the broad shifts we expect, and how India will be affected by them.
But first, Donald Trump led the Republican Party to one of its best ever results in House, Senate and a large majority of Governors.
This means 3 things for the US:
The Trump administration will have an easier time pushing through laws it wants.
Trump will have less trouble passing a budget.
And Trump will be able to choose more judges in his tenure- which has perhaps the most lasting legacy.
In terms of US foreign policy, here are 6 things he is expected to do:
