In a message that underlined the strength of U.S.-India relations, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. With results confirmed on November 6, Mr. Trump is set to re-enter the White House, marking a historic comeback in American politics after previously serving as President from 2016 to 2020.
Prime Minister Modi, extending his congratulations on X (formerly known as Twitter), expressed optimism about the future of U.S.-India collaboration. “Heartiest congratulations, my friend Donald Trump, on your historic election victory,” Mr. Modi wrote. “As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-U.S. Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Together, let’s work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability, and prosperity.”
This statement reflects Modi’s intent to maintain the robust partnership between the two democracies, with both leaders sharing a history of close diplomatic ties during Trump’s first presidency. The re-establishment of this connection is seen as crucial for the Indo-Pacific region, where both countries have sought to enhance economic and security cooperation.
Donald Trump’s projected victory comes after a hard-fought campaign against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. He is set to secure the necessary 270 electoral college votes, effectively ending Harris’s bid for the presidency. This marks a significant comeback for the Republican leader, underscoring his enduring appeal with a considerable segment of the American electorate.
The Prime Minister’s congratulatory message was well-received within diplomatic circles, where observers noted the importance of continuity in U.S.-India relations, especially amid rising geopolitical challenges and economic interests shared by both nations. Mr. Modi’s words are seen as a clear endorsement of an enhanced strategic partnership with the United States under Trump’s leadership, with prospects for closer defense, technology, and trade collaboration.
This renewal of ties under Trump’s second tenure is likely to focus on advancing mutual goals in areas like counter-terrorism, global trade, climate change, and security in the Indo-Pacific.
