India Navigates Complex US Relations and Regional Diplomacy Amid Global ChallengesPreviousNext

India's relationship with the United States faces challenges amid trade tensions, immigration restrictions, and differing regional policies, including US engagement with Pakistan. Experts urge India to maintain strategic autonomy by balancing ties with multiple West Asian countries and engaging collectively in the region. While some debate India's global power status, its technological and diplomatic efforts continue amid evolving US policies. India also signals a shift in WTO engagement, reflecting a nuanced approach to international trade negotiations.
