US-India partnership to grow, says Gabbard

President Donald Trump's focus on "America first" isn't about isolationism and the India-US partnership will grow and strengthen as the two sides engage within the Quad, tackle challenges in the Indo-Pacific and work on security issues, US director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Tuesday.

NEW DELHI:

Gabbard didn't refer to Trump's threat of imposing reciprocal tariffs from April 2 or to New Delhi's specific security concerns while speaking at the Raisina Dialogue, India's flagship conference on geopolitics, but sent out a strong signal of continuity in India-US ties that have burgeoned in the past two decades.
