This success will bring us all together. Together we can make America great again. So I am very happy to be in this company and it is a matter of pride for me to do this. I will not disappoint you. America's future will be bigger, better, richer, and more powerful. God bless you all," he declared, invoking his famous campaign slogan. As the world watches the developments in US politics, Modi's warm response to Trump's victory signifies a hopeful outlook for the future of India-US relations, paving the way for collaborative efforts that may enhance both nations' interests on the global stage.
