The Impact of Donald Trump’s New Regime on Indo-US Relations: A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Political, Social, Military, and Diplomatic Aspects

This research paper examines the multifaceted impact of Donald Trump’s return to the U.S. presidency on Indo-US relations, focusing on political, social, military, and diplomatic dimensions. While Trump’s first term witnessed a warming of ties grounded in personal rapport with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and shared strategic interests, his second term has introduced complexities that strain the bilateral relationship. Key developments include a recalibrated U.S. approach toward Pakistan, shifts in defense cooperation, immigration policy challenges affecting Indian professionals, and evolving trade dynamics under Trump’s “America First” agenda. This paper analyses these aspects to understand the trajectory of Indo-US relations amid global geopolitical turbulence and regional security concerns.
