It appeared that Ambassador Ganapathy had reviewed Trump’s acceptance speech in advance and outlined his expected presiential order one after the other. He gave a comprehensive overview of the voting patterns that led to Trump's victory. He also discussed the foreign policies the new president is likely to pursue, trade and tariff challenges, the Trump-Modi relationship, Indo-US relations, and how the world’s largest democracy and the world’s most powerful democracy would intersect.
