美印接近，终结的开始

Core Viewpoint - The relationship between India and the United States, which has been strengthening since the 2000s, is now facing significant challenges, particularly due to Prime Minister Modi's deepening distrust of President Trump, which may hinder future cooperation [2][4][7]. Group 1: Historical Context - During the Cold War, India aligned itself with the Soviet Union while maintaining a non-aligned stance, receiving military support from the USSR after the 1962 Sino-Indian conflict [2]. - The geopolitical landscape shifted in the 2000s, leading to a rapprochement between India and the U.S., highlighted by the 2008 nuclear agreement, driven by mutual concerns over China [4]. Group 2: Current Tensions - Modi's distrust of Trump has intensified, particularly after Trump's claims regarding the India-Pakistan ceasefire, which Modi believes undermines India's military strength [7][10]. - Trade tensions have escalated, with Trump raising tariffs on Indian goods, further straining relations [10]. Group 3: Strategic Implications - India's dissatisfaction with the U.S. is growing, as there are doubts about America's reliability as a partner in countering China, especially given Trump's preference for bilateral negotiations with China [10][11]. - The U.S. has shown a tendency to prioritize its interests in the Americas, which raises concerns in India about its strategic alignment with the U.S. [10][11]. Group 4: Future Directions - To mitigate security risks, India is likely to seek alternatives outside of the U.S., potentially strengthening ties with Russia and easing tensions with China [11]. - Despite current challenges, there remains a belief in India that the relationship with the U.S. will not significantly regress, depending largely on Trump's future actions [11].
