India emphasises bipartisan support in US relations after midterm elections
The Ministry of External Affairs noted that the relationship with the United States remains a priority despite the Democratic Party's victory.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday highlighted the bipartisan nature of India-US ties following the United States midterm election results, according to the Times of India.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that the elections are an internal matter for the United States and declined to provide a specific assessment of the outcome.
Jaiswal noted that the relationship between the two nations enjoys bipartisan support in the US and added that India continues to work on strengthening its comprehensive global strategic partnership.
The midterm elections held on November 3 saw the Republican Party lose control of both chambers of Congress, while Democrats won control of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
This political shift follows a period of turbulence during President Donald Trump's second presidency, involving disagreements over trade tariffs, immigration, Russian oil purchases, and Washington's approach to Pakistan.
While a Democrat-controlled Congress may offer new avenues for engagement with lawmakers, the US president retains significant authority over foreign policy and trade negotiations.
