The discussion examined the evolving political, economic, and strategic landscape in the United States, with particular attention to the interplay between domestic political developments and Washington’s external policy priorities. The conversation assessed how shifts in American politics, institutions, public discourse, and strategic outlook could influence the country’s engagement with the wider world and, in turn, shape India’s strategic, economic, technological, and diplomatic interests.

The discussion also explored the implications of evolving US approaches towards major global and regional issues, including great-power competition, trade and economic policy, security partnerships, and the broader international order. Bringing together a select group of policymakers, scholars, and strategic experts, the roundtable facilitated an informed and candid exchange of views on the opportunities, uncertainties, and challenges emerging from developments in the United States, and their implications for India’s foreign and security policy.
