President Donald J Trump is back as the 45th and now the 47th President of the United States of America. From his inauguration at the Capitol Rotunda - held indoors because even the sun couldn鈥檛 compete with Washington鈥檚 freezing cold - to his usual flair for the unexpected, the President Trump 2.0 era promises big headlines and bigger deals. If the first few days in the office are anything to go by, then perhaps it鈥檚 time to fasten our seatbelts as we take a front row seat to what could be a thrill a minute ride.
President Trump鈥檚 imperatives will likely reshape both US international and domestic markets, with a trickle-down effect on the global economy. His 鈥楢merica First鈥� approach is likely to shape foreign policy, impacting geopolitical dynamics and conflicts. For India, maintaining and strengthening ties with the U.S. will require a careful balance between self-interest and collaboration. This presidency could signal not just a continuation of the US-India partnership, but an opportunity to take it several notches higher鈥攏avigating the occasional choppy waters to make it to the promise land.聽
