India expressed hope on Thursday that its relationship with the United States will advance, despite recent strains caused by President Donald Trump's 50 percent tariff on Indian goods. This comes amid ongoing challenges as both nations navigate tariffs and trade negotiations.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized that the India-US defense partnership remains a cornerstone of their bilateral relationship. Scheduled military exercises and the expected arrival of a US Defense Policy Team in Delhi highlight ongoing cooperation in defense.
Both countries continue to grapple with trade negotiations, though recent efforts have stalled due to disagreements over agriculture and dairy sectors. Despite these issues, India's commitment to mutual respect and shared interests with the US remains strong, focusing on substantive bilateral engagements.
