Trump’s Refusal to Concede
Biden shattered Trump’s dream of a second term although the latter still has not conceded the loss and is blaming fraud in voting for his loss. Modi had good relations with President Trump and the US President’s term also includes the Howdy Modi event in which Modi endorsed Trump’s re-election during his speech. Now it remains to be seen how Biden-Modi take the relations forward and how will the Biden Administration work  with India on Covid-19, Economy, Climate Change and other matters.
