The upcoming US presidential election holds significant implications for India-US relations. Key issues like technology transfer, trade, immigration, and human rights are likely to be impacted differently under a Trump or Harris administration. India's foremost priority is to keep the initiative on critical and emerging technology going, as access to cutting-edge technology is important for its growth and security. India is concerned about restrictive trade and immigration policies under a potential Trump presidency. Harris is expected to have a more nuanced approach on trade, but any return of H1B regulations could be bad news for the Indian IT sector. The convergence on China will continue to guide the relationship, regardless of the president. Harris is hardwired to address human rights issues, but the Indian government may have to find a way to address American calls for action. Trump's return could ease political pressure on India, but US prosecutors are likely to continue pursuing the case diligently.
