East Erie Satellite: Strategic Convergence In A Changing World: India US Relations Under Trump

Speaker: Anjali Sahay, Ph.D. Strategic Convergence in a Changing World: India–US Relations under Trump–Modi 2.0 India and the United States are two of the world's largest and strongest democracies. India-U.S. relations have undergone a remarkable transformation from Cold War estrangement to a dynamic 21st century strategic engagement rooted in shared democratic values, economic interdependence, technology partnerships, diaspora diplomacy, and a common commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. Within this framework, it would be important to assess how a renewed second term – a.k.a. 'Trump-Modi 2.0' – will transform India-US relations. Attention will be placed on the structural, strategic, and normative drivers that have reshaped the bilateral ties between the two countries. By situating India-U.S. relations within broader debates on multipolarity and democratic partnerships, this presentation highlights how both states navigate cooperation without formal alliances.
