Donald Trump and his Republican Party have suffered a major setback in America's midterm elections.

The opposition Democratic Party has gained control of both houses of Congress – the Senate and the House of Representatives.

These results are being seen as the public's verdict on Trump's leadership and policies after he becomes President again.

But the impact of these election results will not be limited only to America's domestic politics.

The question is, will it be difficult for Trump to carry forward his political agenda after losing majority in Congress? Will his policies regarding tariffs, trade, and international conflicts be restrained? And most importantly, what impact could this have on India-US relations?

In this episode of 'The Lens', Mukesh Sharma, Director of Journalism, Collective Newsroom, discussed these questions.
