The year 2025 has posed challenges for India-US relations, with high tariffs impacting Indian exporters and increased US engagement with Pakistan. Despite these issues, progress has been made in defense, technology, and energy cooperation. While trust between the two nations has slightly eroded, there have been positive developments in defense, AI investment, space cooperation, and energy ties. Trade negotiations faced delays due to operational differences and unrelated concerns, hindering a potential deal. Bilateral trade flows have grown unevenly, with Indian exports to the US rising significantly compared to US exports to India. Efforts to stabilize ties have been observed through cabinet-level engagements and agreements on defense and energy. However, the resurgence of US-Pakistan engagement has caused unease in New Delhi, despite the relationship remaining relatively modest in terms of defense sales and bilateral trade.
