The India-US relationship would continue its upward trajectory regardless of who wins the presidential elections, USISPF president and CEO Mukesh Aghi said, underlining that the contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump was "too close to call". The geopolitical alignment between the two countries is very strong, Aghi said in an interview with PTI on Thursday. "What are the implications, regardless of who comes in?

That it has a partner to deal with a neighbour who will never accept India as an equal partner. "The alignment geopolitically is very, very strong between the two countries.

Ahead of the November 5 US presidential elections, an Indian diaspora group has launched a campaign to increase the policy impact and participation of Indian-American voters in the polls.
