\n

Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s meeting<\/a> with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G-7 meeting in France on June 17 was supposed to stabilize relations that have been troubled over the past year.<\/p>\n

Trump was effusive in his praise of Modi. He told<\/a> reporters that the two leaders share \u201ca great relationship\u201d and that India had \u201ca great friend in the White House\u201d as long as he was president.<\/p>\n

However, there is little reason for India to believe that India-U.S. relations will go back to the strong partnership that existed before Trump returned for his second term.<\/p>\n

Trump did reassure India on defense support. \u201cI can tell you this \u2013 without having a contract, we don\u2019t have a contract \u2013 but if they (India) were attacked, we would be there to help them,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cIf anybody attacks that man [Modi], we\u2019re going to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t immediately clear who Trump was referring to as India\u2019s adversary.<\/p>\n

India is not a treaty ally<\/a> of the United States, although it has agreements in place since 2005 that have deepened defense cooperation. U.S. ships now make regular stops at Indian ports for repairs and supply replenishment.<\/p>\n

India has strained relations with Pakistan and has an unresolved border with China, which it views as its strategic competitor. U.S. ties with Pakistan have warmed in Trump 2.0 and Washington is looking to reset ties with China. In the event of an armed conflict with Pakistan or China, will the U.S. \u201cbe there to help\u201d India as Trump promised?<\/p>\n

In his remarks to Trump, Modi said<\/a> that since their previous meeting<\/a> in Washington in February 2025, bilateral ties had been invigorated by a \u201cnew momentum\u201d and \u201cnew energy.\u201d Both countries were working toward achieving targets set at their February 2025 meeting, he said.<\/p>\n

Modi also praised Trump\u2019s efforts to bring \u201cpeace and stability in the region\u201d in the wake of the Iran-U.S. conflict. He urged<\/a> measures to ensure the security of seafarers while implementing the Iran-U.S. peace deal, noting that hundreds of thousands of Indian seafarers were deployed on ships, including at the Strait of Hormuz. He said that he hoped that Trump would give priority to the security of seafarers.<\/p>\n

Modi\u2019s remarks follow the deaths of three Indian sailors in an attack by a U.S. aircraft earlier this month off the Oman coast. The killings sparked anger<\/a> in India, with many questioning India\u2019s strategic partnership with the United States.<\/p>\n

A statement from the U.S. Central Command said<\/a> the firing took place \u201cafter the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces\u201d enforcing a blockade in the Gulf of Oman to prevent the oil sales by Iran during the conflict. News reports<\/a> later said the company operating the vessel had denied it was transporting any illegal cargo.<\/p>\n

In New Delhi, India summoned<\/a> the U.S. charge d\u2019affaires, Jason Meeks, twice, first to protest the firing on the Indian crew and later after the deaths of its seafarers. India\u2019s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar also spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose remarks<\/a> that \u201cviolations of the U.S. blockade and the illicit transport of Iranian oil will not be tolerated\u201d only added to the sense of outrage Indians felt.<\/p>\n

When asked by reporters on June 17 if he shared his condolences on the deaths of the Indian sailors, \u200bTrump said<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s a rough profession, there\u2019s no question about it, and we work together \u200bon it \u2026 We \u2060love all of those people, they\u2019re great people.\u201d However, there was no apology, not even an expression of regret.<\/p>\n

It must be noted that throughout the crisis over the U.S. attack on the ship that carried the Indian crew, the Modi government refrained from naming the United States. Understandably, this evoked criticism<\/a> from the opposition Congress Party.<\/p>\n

Indian analysts are skeptical that the Trump-Modi meeting will lead to a steadying of the bilateral relationship. Its impact would be \u201cvery limited,\u201d C. Uday Bhaskar, a former Indian Navy commodore and strategic affairs analyst, told The Diplomat.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s imposition of 50 percent tariffs<\/a> on India last year was among the highest in the world. His repeated statements<\/a> claiming credit for the ceasefire that ended the India-Pakistan hostilities in May 2025 annoyed India. Meanwhile, Trump was reportedly peeved<\/a> with India not endorsing him for a Nobel Peace Prize after Pakistani leaders did so. Trump also repeatedly belittled India as a \u201cdead economy\u201d<\/a> and a \u201chellhole.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

These contributed to a sharp downturn in bilateral relations over the past year.<\/p>\n

A U.S. delegation is expected in New Delhi later this month<\/a> to tie up a trade deal that has been under negotiation for months. A pact could help repair some of the damage done, but not entirely.<\/p>\n

For one, there is a marked change in U.S. priorities, with the Trump administration focusing on \u201cAmerica First\u201d and prioritizing the Western Hemisphere and the Pacific, as outlined in its National Security Strategy<\/a> released in November 2025. This dilutes the importance of India within the U.S. security calculus and its role as a major partner in Asia, Bhaskar said.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, the Trump administration\u2019s announcement on June 16 that it would be restoring<\/a> the name of its Hawai\u2019i-based command as U.S. Pacific Command from U.S. Indo-Pacific Command isn\u2019t surprising.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. under President Trump has been explicit about putting America First. The implication is that Washington will be reluctant to commit resources or strategic attention to regions and issues where it does not perceive a clear national interest,\u201d Abhijit Singh, a former Indian navy captain and currently an analyst with the New Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation, told The Diplomat.<\/p>\n

The unstated implication of the name reversion is that the United States is deprioritizing the Indian Ocean, in contrast to former U.S. President Barack Obama\u2019s Pivot to Asia<\/a> strategy. In 2012, then-U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta described India as the \u201clinchpin\u201d<\/a> of the U.S. rebalance to Asia. India had welcomed the move as this aligned with its own view of a multipolar Asia<\/a>, with the U.S. bolstering security in the wider Indo-Pacific region amid the rise of China.<\/p>\n

Adding to India\u2019s worries about the United States under Trump are its sudden policy changes. A U.S. government order<\/a> of June 12, banning access of all foreign nationals to advanced AI models due to national security \u200bconcerns, hit India hard. Although the move wasn\u2019t particularly aimed at India, Indian technology businesses are worried, given their reliance on advanced U.S. technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia\u2019s IT services industry was built on the assumption of open access to the best global technology. That assumption has now developed a serious crack. This creates a competitive disadvantage, but the deeper risk is strategic dependency,\u201d Nikhil Narendran, a tech policy thought leader, was quoted<\/a> as saying by the Economic Times.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, during a visit to India in March, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau had framed<\/a> India as a possible competitor to the United States. India \u201cshould understand that we are not going to make the same mistakes with India that we made with China 20 years ago in terms of saying, we are going to let you develop all these markets, and then, the next thing we know, you are beating us in a lot of commercial things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Taken together, these developments point to the need for India to re-examine the extent of its dependencies on the U.S. and insulate itself from shocks.<\/p>\n

Once viewed as India\u2019s partner of choice in technology, innovation and investments as India looked to become a developed economy by 2047, the U.S. is now seen as a less-than-dependable partner. This may explain the reason for India\u2019s growing closeness with Europe<\/a>, with Modi<\/a> and Jaishankar<\/a> making multiple visits<\/a> to countries in the continent to shore up ties.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
