US Lobbying Firm Reports Eight Calls Between White House and Indian Government in 2025
American lobbying firm SHW Partners LLC, led by Donald Trump's aide Jason Miller, disclosed eight calls between senior White House officials and the Indian government in May-June 2025 under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act. These calls involved discussions on India-US relations around Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to India. The lobbying contract, signed by the Indian Embassy in Washington, was renewed in April 2025 but terminated in June after Miller joined the Trump administration. The filings also noted embassy events attended by Rubio in India.
