India takes calm view of US midterm results
India is maintaining a calm perspective on the US midterm elections' results, which saw Democrats gain seats, potentially limiting President Trump's influence. Experts note that bipartisan relations between the two nations have been strong since 2000, with administrations from both parties deepening ties across various sectors. While Democrats will have fresh challenges, including past criticism of India's human rights record and democracy, they will also bring new demands.
The source points out that both parties have consistently worked to strengthen India-US relations, with Prime Minister Modi addressing joint meetings of the US Congress in 2016 and 2023. However, the source also highlights concerns about how Democrats might respond to future US-Russia agreements, given India's economic and energy dependencies on Russia.
