India may face uncertainty under Trump’s Presidency
By Doruvu Paul Jagan Babu: Assistant Chief Editor

Speculations are rife about the future of India-US relations following Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, with analysts and media outlets debating possible political tensions.
Concerns over Trump’s approach to India
The narrative that India might face “negative support” under Trump’s leadership is gaining traction in Indian media. A social media post noted that Trump’s “America First” stance might complicate global partnerships, including with India. That post highlighted the unpredictability of Trump’s foreign policy, which could strain ties with nations seen as allies under previous administrations.
Modi-Harris allegations stir controversy
One dominant speculation is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s alleged indirect support for Kamala Harris during the US elections may have soured Trump’s view of India.
Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s inauguration
Elon Musk’s involvement in the planning of Trump’s inauguration has fueled conspiracy theories in Indian social media. According to it, Musk played a significant role in curating the guest list, and the omission of Modi has been viewed as a potential diplomatic slight. However, the social media posts emphasize that there is no concrete evidence to link Musk’s actions to any bias against India.
Mixed reactions among Indian political experts
Indian political analysts are divided on the issue. Some argued that the speculation about Modi’s alleged campaign for Harris is overblown, while some suggested that Trump’s return to power could signal tougher trade negotiations and reduced cooperation.
As the global political landscape shifts with Trump’s return to power, India’s foreign policy strategies may need recalibration. While opinions and analyses abound, only time will reveal the true nature of this complex bilateral relationship.
