‘Trump still has a lot of freedom’: Tharoor on midterm outcomes and Presidential powers

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor analyses the US midterm election results and explains why US President Donald Trump continues to retain significant powers despite the ruling party's electoral setback. Tharoor says that while the results could limit Trump's domestic legislative agenda, his authority over foreign policy remains largely unaffected. He discusses the President's powers over tariffs, sanctions, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Iran, while also examining the possible implications of the election results for India-US relations and the Indian diaspora in America.
