As Trump splits from India, is the US abandoning its pivot to Asia?
Briefly

India is closely watching the upcoming summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin due to its potential implications on India-US relations. Historically, India has maintained strong ties with Russia while developing its relationship with the US. The partnership with the US has been bolstered under previous administrations due to a shared interest in counterbalancing Chinese influence in the Asia Pacific. However, recent tariffs imposed by Trump on Indian imports challenge this alignment, raising questions about the future of US-India relations.
