watch nowIndia's relationship with the United States is the strongest it's been in years. Despite warming ties — with both leaders sharing a hug during Modi's state visit to Washington in May — a "traditional alliance" between the two nations remains off the table, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. "Obviously, this is an area where American foreign policy leaders would like to see something different given American concerns about Russia's war in Ukraine," Ayres highlighted. In May, Biden and Modi announced a slew of technology and defense deals, ranging from collaborating on diversifying supply chains to working together across space and artificial intelligence. "Technology generally has really been in the lead in improving this relationship," said Evan Feigenbaum, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
