Now that Trump has become the President of the USA, here’s how it matters to India
1. Trump has economic interests in India. He wants to build a luxurious business tower-Trump Tower- in Mumbai.

3. Trump made a strong pitch against ISIS and immigration from countries that export terror and this is bound to hurt Pakistan. Trump has a plan to establish a commission on radical Islam, which will launch an ideological offensive. Trump has plans to expose networks in American society that promote radical Islam, which will greatly benefit India in terms of security.
4. Trump, in his poll promises, also vowed to unleash America’s shale oil, natural gas and coal reserves to make U.S energy self-sufficient. He has plans to open onshore and offshore leasing on federal lands and lift the moratorium on coal leasing. India, which is dependent on Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) when it comes paying a price for oil, will benefit as opening up of the US oil sector will lead to price stability globally. ONGC will be able to expand operations globally.
5. However, Trump also has soft approach towards Russia and he can revisit US policy towards China. If that happens, it would have serious security ramifications for India.
6. Trump has also vowed to bring back jobs to Americans and this will impact India in a huge manner. Indians are the top recipients of the H-1B visas, and this might get a blow.
