Earlier today, the Prime Minsiter congratulated Trump on his "historic" presidential poll victory referring to him as 'friend'. "As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Together, let’s work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity," he said.

Donald Trump registered a historic comeback on Wednesday by winning the US presidency for a second term defeating his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in a tough battle.
