Following Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, leaders from various regions, including Wales and the UK, expressed their intentions to maintain strong relations with the US. Welsh figures like Eluned Morgan and Andrew RT Davies congratulated Trump, highlighting the economic ties between Wales and the US, while Mick Antoniw voiced concerns over potential shifts in US foreign policy. In parallel, India's External Affairs Minister S.
