From Indian FP point of view it should be a lot easier to handle Trump. Basically if you convince him with a bit more pleasantries and diplomacy, he will be a lot more useful for us. With Biden, you will have to deal with the vast bureaucracy that has more anti-India factions than our two eyes meet...

I don't think it's easy to add capacity when the infrastructure to make it doesn't exist.
