PM Modi congratulates Trump on winning US Elections

In a remarkable turnaround in the U.S. elections, Republican candidate Donald Trump appears set for a decisive win. As trends signaled a clear Republican victory, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Trump, addressing him as "my friend" and hailing his "historic election victory." Modi’s message, posted on X, praised Trump’s previous term and expressed enthusiasm for renewing India-U.S. cooperation.

Modi extended his congratulations with a call for collaboration, stating, “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.” Modi emphasized that the two leaders would focus on “global peace, stability, and prosperity,” underscoring the growing significance of U.S.-India ties.

The victory for Trump marks a significant comeback and comes amid Republican gains across the board. In a sweeping reversal from 2020, Republicans have reportedly swung all seven battleground states in their favor—states where Democrats had previously led 6-1. Addressing an enthusiastic crowd, Trump called the results a “magnificent victory for the American people” and spoke of his recent challenges, including a foiled assassination attempt. He told supporters, “God spared my life for a reason,” and vowed to lead a historic new chapter.

Describing the Republican resurgence as the "greatest political movement of all time," Trump thanked his supporters and pledged to “heal the country, fix our borders” and defend American families with “every breath in my body.” Current projections give Republicans a commanding electoral vote lead of 315, securing a firm mandate.

The significance of Trump’s victory extends beyond the presidency, with Republicans gaining control of the Senate and leading the House of Representatives. With a renewed Republican majority, Trump’s vision for America may face fewer legislative obstacles.

In his victory speech, Trump acknowledged the support of his family, his running mate JD Vance, and his wife Melania. He also gave a special mention to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose vocal support on social media energized the Republican campaign. Musk’s endorsement of Trump has garnered attention as the billionaire continues to use his influence to sway public opinion.

Trump’s apparent success signals a reshaped political landscape in the United States and sets the stage for potential shifts in U.S. foreign and domestic policy. As Trump returns to office, leaders around the world, including Modi, anticipate renewed partnerships and opportunities for global cooperation.
