Common interests remain the bedrock of relations between the U.S. and Modi's India, but the personal trust that helped build their relationship has now cooled significantly.

You might think the biggest source of tension between the two leaders is Trump's search for leverage over Russia's Vladimir Putin—in particular, his bid to halt India's import of sanctioned Russian oil to force Putin to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. But it's another armed conflict that's at the heart of the friction.
