Is Trump Losing India? Washington Panics As Delhi Drifts Toward Russia And BRICS

Описание: The United States and India, two major Indo-Pacific democracies, are entering their most turbulent phase in decades. What began as policy disagreements has now escalated into a full-blown strategic rift under President Donald Trump. From visa crackdowns to unprecedented tariffs, Trump’s measures have triggered deep anxiety in Washington as lawmakers fear that America may be losing one of its most important partners.

Senior members of Congress, including Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove and Ami Bera, have openly warned that Trump could become the president who “lost India.” Their concern stems from a widening gap in how Washington views India’s strategic autonomy—especially the long-standing India-Russia partnership—and how aggressively the US is responding to it. Tariffs linked directly to India’s Russian oil purchases, criticism of BRICS participation, and punitive policy signals have all raised fears that the US is pushing India toward a more multipolar alignment.

Meanwhile, Trump’s response on Truth Social, calling India’s moves a “snub,” has only amplified perceptions abroad that US policy is becoming unpredictable. For India, balancing Washington and Moscow is a nuanced necessity rooted in geography, history, and national interest. The question now is whether Trump’s confrontational approach is accelerating the very alignments the US wants to prevent.

This episode of Statecraft breaks down what’s really happening behind the scenes, and what the future of US–India relations could look like.
