Mr. Modi’s statement reflected the bonhomie that the two leaders shared throughout Mr. Trump’s first tenure. But when we go beyond personal ties to bilateral ties, ‘Trump 1.0’ was a mixed bag for India. Where the road will be smoothThere are several reasons for the Modi government to be delighted with Mr. Trump’s victory. In 2020, after China transgressed the Line of Actual Control and began a military stand-off with India, Mr. Trump posted that Mr. Modi was “not in a good mood” over the developments; India denied that the two leaders had spoken at all. India’s neighbours may be more concerned about the impact of Mr. Trump’s victory.
