How Donald Trump’s Win Will Affect Globalisation? S Jaishankar Explains

Sydney:

In a press briefing after his meeting with top business leaders and CEOs in Australia, S Jaishankar mentioned about “something that happened yesterday”, referring to the US election result. Mr Jaishankar said India “perceives this as an opportunity”.

Former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump made a stunning comeback after a 4-year gap to get re-elected as the 47th President of the United States of America. Mr Trump’s win will almost certainly have an effect on the global order and significantly impact policy and trade for most nations.

Mr Trump’s win will have a big impact on globalisation. Sharing his views on this, Mr Jaishankar said there are four aspects on how India views this: Firstly, “There was already a reordering of supply chains which was taking place (globally). It is very likely that this will get accelerated after the election result in the US.”
