President of Donald Trump’s return to the White House has exuded ripples worldwide, but India is still optimistic about his second term. More than a week after Trump’s position as a president, India expressed his willingness to adapt to his transaction diplomatic style.
Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a “effective phone call” on Monday, focusing on “expanding and deepening cooperation.”
According to the reading of the White House, leaders have discussed geopolitical issues and bilateral trade. Trump emphasizes the importance of India to increase the purchase of security equipment made in the United States to help balance the trade relations between the two countries. It is believed to be the first batch of Trump since Trump returned to his office.
Trump’s tariff threats not only exceed the “trade agreement” to promote US interests: experts
Michael Kugelman, director of the South Asian College of Wilson Center, told Fox news numbers that, given their world view and governance style, he and Modi have a strong chemical response.
Modi (Modi) and Trump enjoys a solid harmonious relationship and personal connection. Trump told the Air Force One after calling Modi: “We have a good relationship with India.”
In 2020, Modi held a large -scale rally for Trump’s hometown in Gujara’s hometown. The two leaders admired each other in front of the crowd, with more than 110,000 people. The previous year, Trump made Moderbie Elvis Presley as Elvis Presley because he was capable of attracting a large number of people at a rally in Texas. However, Trump’s complete immigration suppression is causing some concerns of the Indians.
According to the Pew Research Center, India is one of the main sources of illegal immigration to the United States. As of 2022, it is estimated that 725,000 Indians have illegally lived in the United States. In addition, only 2024 fiscal year, customs and border patrols encountered nearly 90,500 Indian citizens. Immigration also appears because H-1B visas are one of the most common legal entry channels for Indians. It has always been a controversial topic for Trump supporters. However, on Monday, Trump rejected immigration’s attention and expressed “doing the right thing” in India’s confidence.

Trade is another possible controversy point that can affect US -Indian relations.
On the second day when Trump and Modi held a phone call, he condemned India that China and Brazil were “huge tariff manufacturers.” Trump emphasized in his speech at the Republicans of the House of Representatives in Florida that countries harmed the United States with high tariffs. He emphasized plans for these countries and asserted: “We will no longer let this happen because we will put the United States first.”
Trump threatened high tariffs on imported goods in the entire presidential campaign, and criticized India as “very big abusers.” In the case of trade differences, Trump called India as “Tariff Kings” in his first term. In 2019, he revoked India’s special trade privileges. For revenge, India has reached tariffs on more than 20 kinds of goods.

Modi (Modi) regards India as an growing global participant and tries to strengthen trade relations with the United States, especially in the face of Trump’s international tariff threat. Trump proposed that the “universal” tax for all international imports was 10 % or 20 %, and India was no exception. India is the fifth largest economy in the world. It aims to promote bilateral trade with the United States while reducing its dependence on China. These two countries are the highest trading partners in India.
Recent legal charges also tested the emerging relationships between India and the United States last year. U.S. prosecutors accused the Indian government agents that assassinated the conspiracy of American citizens on US land. A few months later, the Ministry of Justice accused the Indian tycoon Gautam Adani in response to fraud and bribery. Despite these challenges, bilateral relations are still enduring.

“It is certain that they will definitely face challenges. Both of them have inherited from the Bayeng government-for example, the Ministry of Justice investigating the murder of the so-called Indian government’s participation in the New York murder, and new murders such as trade,” “” ” Kugelman explained. “But we can see from the recent signal of New Delhi that it is going to take the actions of premiere to reduce the risk of tension.”
In the days since Trump took office, India stated that it would explore tariffs, recover some illegal Indian immigrants, and import more US oil to reduce imports from Russia.

When India is committed to strengthening its defense, technology and trade relations with the United States, the country has expressed confidence, and it can better adapt to Trump’s “US first” government than others. Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said a few days after the November election: “I know today, many countries are nervous about the United States. We are not one of them.”
Washington believes that India is the largest democratic country in the world, which is a balanced balance in China. In addition, Trump has nothing to do with Modi’s policy to a large extent, and these policies are considered to be problematic by many global leaders. The two remained consistent in style and speech, especially in the country’s pride.
Kugelman told Fox News
Former Trump officials refused to report the reporter Kash Patel, a nominated by the Federal Investigation Bureau, violated the hostage agreement
Trump’s government also includes famous Indian Americans. In the selection of Kash Patel, director of the Federal Investigation Bureau, he faced the hearing of the Senate’s senior Senate this week. If it is confirmed, he will be the first Indian American leader and the youngest director of the Federal Investigation Agency. Trump also chose Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as the director of the National Institute of Health and Harmeet K. Dhillon as the Citizenship Assistant General Prosecutor. Others, such as Sriram Krishnan, senior policy adviser to Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramasware and AI, have already played an important consultation role in the government. Although they have brought hope to many Indian immigrants, the first generation of Indian Krishnan has become Maga Lightning Rod. In addition, although not a member of the cabinet, JD Vance’s wife USHA is the first female to become the second lady.

Modi is expected to meet with Trump next month. At the same time, it is expected that Trump will visit India to participate in the Four Quad Leaders Summit hosted by New Delhi later this year.
“With its nationalist government and strong confidence as the power of the rise, India will be so quickly and publicly acknowledged to be willing to consider to make concessions to the United States. The Trump administration, “Kogman said.
