The early months of President Trump's administration bring heightened attention to U.S.-India relations, with a significant meeting between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Modi. Trade surplus expectations are rising, with proposals to balance it through energy imports from India. The impact of U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs will be closely watched, while India may also raise concerns over the deportation of illegal Indian immigrants. Additionally, India's tech sector contributions to the U.S. remain invaluable, amid a growing outcry against "normalize Indian hate" rhetoric.
