US Expected to Shift Towards Isolationism Regardless of Election Outcome

India's foreign minister predicts a continuation of cautious US global commitments, whether Trump or Harris wins the presidency.

India's External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar anticipates a more isolationist US foreign policy, a trend observed since the Obama administration.
Jaishankar highlights the US's reluctance to deploy troops and its withdrawal from Afghanistan as signs of reduced global engagement.
He suggests that the US's traditional dominance and generosity in international relations may not persist.
Despite potential isolationism, Jaishankar expresses optimism about the future growth of India-US relations.
The US presidential race between Trump and Harris is seen as historic, with Harris potentially breaking multiple barriers if elected.
