“Both parties see India as central to balancing China, and the Quad and defense and technology cooperation enjoy bipartisan support,” he says, adding, however, that there are three areas where challenges could arise.
Sachdev suggests that the Trump administration will continue to maintain an active foreign policy:
“I expect that US President Donald Trump will become more active abroad after this midterm election, not less. If Republicans hold Congress, he will read it as an endorsement and push harder on tariffs, deals and pressure diplomacy. If Democrats win, he will be blocked at home and will turn abroad, where he can still act without Congress.”
