On this Special Report, Michael Kugelman, Director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Center, analyzes the current state of India-US relations following a significant trade deal. Kugelman observes that while the deal is a major confidence-building measure, ‘there still is a long way to go to getting this relationship back on track’ due to a lingering trust deficit. The discussion highlights the role of the new US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gore, in navigating the relationship and the potential for a Quad summit despite President Trump’s busy schedule and upcoming travel to China. The transcript details the specifics of the trade agreement, including the reduction of tariffs from 50% to 18% and the condition for India to make $500 billion in purchases while reducing Russian oil imports to zero. Kugelman also addresses the status of the F-35 deal and the importance of sustained engagement from the US State Department and Department of Defense to restore bilateral faith.
