Divya Delhi: What would US-India relations be like if Donald Trump returns as president on his ‘America First’ platform? External affairs minister S Jaishankar warned in Canberra that the US will likely become more olist regardless of Trump or Harris's victory. Trump pledged to strengthen the "great partnership" between the US and India in a Diwali post on X a week before the US presidential election, calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi his "good friend". PM Modi wrote on X: “Heartiest congratulations my friend @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. As you build on your previous term's successes, I look forward to continuing our work to strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Let's improve our people and create world peace, stability, and prosperity." Beyond the post, the two leaders' relationship was clear during the 2019 ‘Howdy, Modi!’ rally in Texas, where Trump hosted Modi in one of the largest US gatherings for a foreign leader. Modi hosted Trump in Gujarat in 2020 at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, drawing nearly 120,000 people.
