US presidential elections 2024: After Donald Trump's historic victory in the US presidential elections 2024, strategic affairs experts believe that following his victory, India-US ties are set to expand. However, they also believe that there could be some issues like imports, tariffs, and immigration. In his election campaign, Trump proposed higher tariffs on foreign goods, especially imports from China, and vowed to rid the US of all undocumented immigrants by launching a major deportation programme. In his address to the nation, on Thursday, President Joe Biden promised peaceful transfer of power, calls for ‘bringing down the temperature’ in US politics. He said, "Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other, not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature."
Former President Donald Trump is set to return as the 47th President of the United States after winning the recently concluded presidential elections. He received a congratulatory call from his Democratic rival Kamala Harris after she conceded defeat. Harris "called President-elect Trump to congratulate him on winning the 2024 presidential election," CNN reported, quoting an official in Harris' team. She discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans, it said. Trump is the first president after Grover Cleveland 132 years ago to be evicted from the White House and return to it again four years later.
After conceding defeat to her Republican rival Donald Trump, Democrat candidate Kamala Harris said that she will not concede the fight that fuelled her presidential campaign. While addressing her supporters, Harris said, "This is a time to organise, to mobilise and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know, we can build together."
