- Tension in US-India Relations: The shift in the Trump administration's China policy has strained US-India relations, with experts noting India's concerns that the US may prioritize China as the main negotiating partner, thereby diminishing India's strategic role in the Indo-Pacific.
- Need for Enhanced Strategic Value: To counter potential marginalization, India must establish more tangible cooperation with the US in sectors such as defense, maritime security, and critical minerals, thereby enhancing its strategic value and ensuring its importance in US-China relations.
- Changes in Trade Policy: The Trump administration's trade policy has become more transactional, with a 25% penalty tariff imposed on India last year for allegedly profiting from cheap Russian oil, further deteriorating bilateral relations.
- Concerns Over G2 Concept: India's attention to the US-China summit has intensified, with fears that the so-called 'G2' concept may marginalize middle powers like India, impacting its voice and influence in international affairs.
