US Election 2024 - US takes two consecutive actions against India, Biden's mistake will cost Kamala heavily

US Election 2024: Less than two days are left for the US presidential election, and in the meantime more than 50 percent of the population has cast their votes through early voting. According to a survey by Five Thirty Eight, Vice President Kamala Harris maintains a slight lead of 1.2 points. However, this narrow gap could give an opportunity to change the situation for former President Donald Trump, who is constantly improving his performance.

Focus on Indian community

Kamala Harris has focused on the people of the Indian community to maintain her lead. Recently, she shared her experience related to India on the occasion of Diwali and started campaigning to woo Indians to her side. But this task is not so easy for Kamala, as some recent decisions of the Biden administration can cause trouble for her.

US sanctions against India

The US has imposed sanctions on 400 entities and individuals, including 19 Indian companies, for supporting Russia in the war against Ukraine. Along with this, the Biden administration has joined the chorus against India by supporting Canada's allegations. In such a situation, this move of the Biden administration before the election is likely to turn the Indian community away from the Democrat candidates, which can have a bad effect on Kamala Harris's dreams of becoming president.

India's strong response

The Indian Foreign Ministry immediately responded to the US sanctions. He said, "We have seen reports on US sanctions. India has a strong legal and regulatory framework on strategic trade and non-proliferation controls." India also clarified that the banned transactions and companies do not violate Indian laws and they are working closely with all companies to prevent the proliferation of weapons.

Growing tension between Canada and India

Last week, Canada alleged that an Indian minister was behind the violence and threat campaigns there. The US has expressed concern over this and said that they will continue to talk with the Canadian government in this matter. America's joining the chorus against India is not a case of the past; even before this, when Canada had made allegations against Indian officials, the US had tried to put pressure on India.

Importance of Indian voters

Such statements and decisions of the Democratic presidential administration can spread discontent among Indians, which will have a direct impact on Kamala Harris. Voters of Indian origin are less than 2 percent in the whole of America, but their importance increases a lot in swing states. Now it remains to be seen whether Indian voters will continue to support the Democratic candidate on the steps taken by America against India.

Conclusion

It is very important for Kamala Harris to get the support of the Indian community in this election. However, due to recent developments, her position has become challenging. The morale of Indian voters and their choice can play an important role in the election results this time. With the elections approaching, all eyes will be on what impact the decisions of Kamala Harris and the Biden administration have on Indian voters.
