Donald Trump, who won the November 2024 presidential election, took office as the 47th president of the United States. He was sworn in in January this year. This led to key changes in America's domestic and foreign policy. He has opened trade wars in the name of tariffs against many countries around the world (trade tariffs 2025). He imposed heavy tariffs especially on India. This has increased the distance between India and America.
India-Pakistan conflict

In response, the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor on the morning of 7 May, targeting Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Destroyed many terrorist sites.

Friendship with China..
India, which has become closer to Russia due to America's economic strategies, is also ready for friendship with China. Prime Minister Modi reached Beijing and held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Relations between the two countries have improved a bit. Also, India's relationship with Russia has become stronger (world affairs year ender).

Also, with the intervention of America, a peace agreement was reached between Hamas and Israel (international crisis 2025).
Nepal concerns..
Large-scale protests against corruption erupted in Nepal. The ban on social media led to the fall of former Prime Minister KP Oli's government. These concerns of Generation Z have changed the face of the country.
