A failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump and President Joe Biden's decision to not seek re-election, endorsing Kamala Harris instead, heighten US political tensions. India's former ambassador to the US, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, discussed the potential impact on India-US relations and the upcoming 2024 presidential race.

A failed assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden's decision to opt out of the 2024 race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, have intensified the political landscape in the United States.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Shringla remarked, 'We in India are confident that our relationship with the US will continue to thrive, irrespective of whether it's under Republican or Democrat rule.'

Shringla also noted that the 2024 election would likely be a bruising contest between Trump and Harris. He added that the strategic partnership between India and the US would remain a priority for both countries. 'Our relationship will undoubtedly strengthen, continuing to be a focal point in US policy,' said Shringla.
