Regardless of the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, America is likely to adopt a more isolationist stance, according to India’s Foreign Minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Speaking in Canberra while U.S. citizens continued to cast their ballots, Jaishankar highlighted a shift in American foreign policy that he believes will persist, emphasizing the need for global collaboration among other nations.
Long-Term Shift in U.S. Global Engagement
During a panel with the foreign ministers of Australia and New Zealand, Jaishankar described a trend toward reduced U.S. involvement in international affairs, which he noted began during the Obama administration. “Since President Obama, the U.S. has shown greater caution regarding its global commitments,” he explained, citing the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Joe Biden as a key example.
Jaishankar acknowledged former President Trump’s explicit approach to reducing international engagements but argued that this trend is now a broader, national stance, not just tied to any one administration’s ideology. “If we truly analyze U.S. policy, we need to prepare for a world where America’s past level of global dominance and generosity may not continue,” he said.
A Growing India-U.S. Relationship
Despite these shifts, Jaishankar expressed optimism about the future of India-U.S. relations, predicting that the partnership would continue to strengthen. As the global landscape evolves, India and other nations may need to assume a more proactive role in shaping international cooperation.
Embracing Collaborative Global Leadership
All three ministers emphasized the importance of their countries stepping up to help create a stable, cooperative global environment. “We all share an interest in building a collaborative, consensual world order,” Jaishankar stated.
New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters echoed these sentiments, noting that “there is more protectionism,” which signals a changing world order. Peters highlighted that the world many countries once aimed to build is evolving, necessitating a shift in response.
These remarks underscore a common belief that as the U.S. becomes more cautious in its foreign policy, other nations will need to adapt and collaborate to foster a balanced, multilateral world.
