On the impact on India-Canada relations after Donald Trump was elected as US President, Canadian Journalist Terry Milewski said, "Trump is nothing if not unpredictable. He gets along very well with PM Modi and Modi has been very assiduous in peppering the incoming administration with praise and looking forward to working with his friend Donald Trump. I expect that regardless of the change of administration, more or less the only way out that I see is a grubby little deal...The outlines of a deal are pretty clear to me. That deal would involve concessions off-camera by India, the US, and Canada. As part of that deal, India would get what it wants in terms of sweeping this mostly under the rug, telling the public that we're through this, we've scored another great triumph, there's no public trial and quietly and off-camera without public announcement will hold somebody to account, a sacrificial lamb that we can throw under the bus to take responsibility... The Americans would get what they want. They would preserve the important strategic relationship between the United States and India, which is of surpassing importance...Canada would get what it wants.

Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman remarked that Trudeau's recent downplaying of evidence against India is seen as a significant victory for the Indian narrative. Bordman stated, "This is a pretty big win for the Indian narrative right now... From the Canadian perspective, we had gone pretty hard... We had named the Indian High Commission." He noted that the core issue remains unresolved: whether Nijjar was a Khalistani terrorist or a community activist. Bordman further indicated that Trudeau’s government might face a significant setback in upcoming polls, suggesting that the ongoing scandals, including the Indian issue, could fade into the background.
