During a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized India’s crucial role as a strategic ally in the Indo-Pacific region. She also highlighted the strong rapport between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Leavitt’s comments came in response to a question about China’s influence and reaffirmed the US commitment to its partnership with India. The statement followed the confirmation of President Trump’s acceptance of an invitation to attend the upcoming QUAD Summit in New Delhi later this year. Furthermore, Leavitt indicated that a trade deal between the US and India is nearing finalization, with announcements expected soon.
