India's External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, will be attending the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States on January 20. The Ministry of External Affairs has announced that during his visit to the US, Jaishankar will also be meeting with representatives of the incoming Trump administration. This comes after Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election.
In a statement released last month, Jaishankar expressed that Trump has shown a positive political view of India and that India is in a favorable position to strengthen its relationship with his administration. This has paved the way for deeper ties between the two countries.
Jaishankar has been invited by the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee to represent the Government of India at the swearing-in ceremony. Along with attending the ceremony, he will also be meeting with other dignitaries visiting the US at this time.
The Ministry of External Affairs added that concerns have been raised by various countries regarding the Trump administration's policies on sensitive issues such as tariffs, climate change, and foreign policy priorities. This comes amidst ongoing conflicts in Russia-Ukraine and West Asia.
This will be Trump's second term as the President of the US, having previously served from January 2017 to January 2021. Many countries are closely monitoring the new administration's approach towards addressing these concerns and shaping their future relations with the US.
