Trump's victory and South Asia
The Statesman
|November 16, 2024
The US has just concluded our generation's most eagerly watched presidential elections. Donald J. Trump has won the White House resoundingly, and in addition, the Republican Party, also known as the Grand Old Party, has now wrested control of the Senate and has a comfortable majority in Congress.
-
Simply put, Trump and the GOP now have complete control of the executive and legislative branches of the government, which will embolden the new Trump administration to pursue policies with determination. The world is closely watching how the Trump administration will usher in a new foreign policy paradigm that revolves around Trump's "America First" philosophy.
Foreign policy mandarins across the globe have mixed feelings about Trump's victory: Allies in Europe are gripped with anxiety, whereas in South Asia, there is a sense that since the rhetoric of Trump's election campaign focused on combating China, Asia is on the cusp of witnessing unprecedented American engagement.
