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.

Efforts to stabilize ties have been observed through cabinet-level engagements and agreements on defense and energy.
