Policies and Politics are greatly influenced by the people in power .The change in head of states is followed by both continuity in policies and changes which influence the bilateral and multilateral relation.
POSITIVE CHANGES WITH TRUMP IN POWER
1. DEFENCE RELATIONS
• Indo Pacific Moniker: Trump administration that encouraged the adoption of the ‘Indo-Pacific’ moniker, which links the fate of the Western Pacific to the Indian Ocean region. The Trump administration also rechristened the US Pacific Command (PACOM) in Hawaii to the ‘US Indo-Pacific Command’. The renaming of the command, albeit largely symbolic, signifies India’s elevated role in the US security calculus.
• On matters of defence interoperability, New Delhi and Washington recently inked the Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA).
• The U.S. has become India’s second largest supplier.
2. TRADE RELATIONS
In 2017, the Indo-US bilateral trade of goods and services reached US$140 billion from US$118 billion in 2016, inching towards the Obama-era goal of US$500 billion.
3. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
The Indo-US synergy at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to grey-list Pakistan was notable.
4. THE IRAN CONUNDRUM
India had been allowed to temporarily engage with Iran without negative consequences. For example: Waiver from US sanctions on Iran . Although, now US is adamant that India must cut its oil supplies from Iran.
5. INDIA'S ROLE IN AFGHANISTAN

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF TRUMP'S POLICIES

India has been accused of seeking billions in exchange for commitment to Paris accords.
2. ISSUES WITH IMMIGRATION
The protectionist stance by America , tend to effect many immigrants from India as Indians are highest seekers of visas.
33. TRADE WARS
US has accused India of high tariffs on Harley Davidson motorcycles – India has reduce tariffs since , also USA has increased tariffs on steel and aluminium products from India .India has toyed with idea of retaliatory tariffs but has refrained till now.
4. STANCES ON AFGHANISTAN
USA announced the removal of troops from Afghanistan and want greater efforts to be taken by Asian neighbours but have not outlined a road map.
India and USA need to set differences aside and work together to handle challenges like terrorism and increasing China’s influence. The need of hour is strong and structured relations between India and US.
