Prime Minister Modi wished Donald Trump with an extended message after a resounding victory in the U.S. presidential race. Stating that “my friend” Donald Trump won, PM Modi posted on his social media platform X about the historic victory of Trump and indicated better collaboration between India and the United States. Modi referred to the India-U.S. Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership and announced his willingness to cooperate to “promote global peace, stability, and prosperity” and to help the citizens of both nations.
The latest results of the U.S. elections spell out a stunning victory by the Republicans, with Trump at merely one step from proclaiming an amazing comeback. Contrary to what polls indicated–a neck-and-neck fight–the surprise turned events were such that the seven critical battleground states Democrats won 6-1 in the 2020 election became flip-flops for Republicans, who flipped all the way. Indeed, it’s such a turnaround and puts more emphasis on public support for Trump as well as the vision presented by his party.
Heartiest congratulations my friend @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership.

Upon receiving the news, Trump jubilated, calling the outcome “a magnificent victory for the American people.” About an assassination attempt he survived in July, Trump said he believes God had kept him alive for a purpose. This message and the characteristic confidence have invigorated his supporters. He even termed this campaign “the greatest political movement of all time,” saying that this win is about helping America heal and tackling issues like immigration and economic reforms. “We made history tonight,” he said to his followers. “I will fight for you and your family with every breath in my body.”
It is also more than the victory of a presidency because, beyond claiming the White House, Trump has further helped the Republicans take over the Senate, and ahead of the contest for the House of Representatives, placing them in an influential position within the government. So the victory goes further, it’s one of grand proportions, taking into consideration the opposition that stood before them.

His speech should not go without thanking his closest relatives from his wife Melania and children to running mate JD Vance. Interestingly enough, he also thanked tech mogul Elon Musk, who owns X and has publicly supported Trump’s campaign.
My viewpoint is that this victory is going to rewrite the political landscape both in America and the world. India and the U.S. have been quite good friends lately, and this outcome is bound to advance that friendship even more. Both leaders seem eager to cooperate, particularly in the key areas of global issues on security and economic development. Given that there are Republicans in support, these two countries will most certainly witness more influence on moving forward toward the Asia Pacific region on shared interests.
It’s also interesting to find out how world leaders are going to react to such a change in the United States. Many will keenly watch how Trump’s old and new policies on security, economics, and other areas will be reflected in international relationships and issues. Given Donald Trump’s emphasis on “America First, it may bring sour times in trade negotiations; nonetheless, one observes that he tends to be pragmatic and possibly favors countries like India when regional influences are in the realm of commonality to the interest of both parties.
