Donald Trump Win - Meta, Modi, Musk... what is Trump's opinion on these important issues of Indians?
Donald Trump Win: The results of the US presidential election are now clear, and Donald Trump is preparing to become president once again. After he takes oath as president in January, many policy changes are expected during his second term, which can have an impact on the world including India. His views on 10 major issues during Trump's tenure can be important for the Indian community and the government.1. Trump's stance on GoogleDonald Trump had accused Google of interfering in the electoral process during the election campaign. He said that Google was showing negative news against him and promoting positive content in favor of his rival Kamala Harris. If Trump raises this matter again, then pressure on big tech companies like Google may increase during his tenure.2. Tension in relations with FacebookThe tension between Facebook (now Meta) and Trump is public. Trump had termed Facebook as the "enemy of the people" and there may be a possibility of change in the policies of control over social media during his tenure. Facebook temporarily suspended Trump's account after the Capitol Hills incident, and Trump's subsequent statement against him may cause social media companies to face challenges in the future.3. Strong relationship with Elon MuskDonald Trump praised Elon Musk a lot in his speech. Musk's technology projects like Starlink and SpaceX may get support from Trump's government. Musk's companies and Trump's partnership with them can increase investment and progress in the technology sector.4. Boost to IT sectorTrump has promised a cut in corporate tax to encourage domestic production in the technology and IT sector. This will benefit American companies and his decisions may also affect India's IT sector. However, experts believe that Trump's policies will have limited impact on India.5. Strictness in visa policyIn his first term, Trump tightened the H-1B visa rules. In his second term, the visa process can be further tightened. This will not have a direct impact on Indian IT professionals, but workers in the unorganized sector may be affected.6. Hollywood and Trump's sensitivityHollywood has often been the center of Trump's criticism, and this time too his victory has created tension in the entertainment industry. Trump has threatened legal action against the makers of the film "The Apprentice", and his second term may see a more tough stance on the entertainment industry.7. NATO and security policiesTrump has previously criticized NATO allies, especially those countries that do not spend enough on defense budget. His re-election as president may bring about a change in the relationship between NATO and the US. His stance on security policies will clearly be tough, which will affect global diplomacy.8. Tightening trade relations with ChinaTrump's stance towards China has been quite aggressive. He had said during the election campaign that he would impose heavy tariffs on China and end its Most-Favored Nation status. This move of Trump can affect the trade relations between the US and China, which can also have an impact on global trade.9. Offer of mediation on KashmirDuring his last term, Trump had offered to mediate between India and Pakistan on Kashmir. However, Prime Minister Modi had denied the need for any mediation in this matter. Trump's stand on this issue will be a sensitive matter for India.10. Relationship with Prime Minister ModiThe deep friendship between Trump and Prime Minister Modi is well known. Events like "Namaste Trump" and "Howdy Modi" have strengthened the relationship between the two leaders. Trump has described Prime Minister Modi as his good friend, which is likely to strengthen India-US relations.Donald Trump's second term is likely to bring changes on these major issues. It will be important for India to see what Trump's next step will be on these issues.
