Trade, Defence, Energy on Table as Top US Official, Foreign Secretary Hold Talks
US and India aim to boost trade to $500 billion by 2030 and expand cooperation in defense, energy, technology, and space during high-level talks.
- On Tuesday, US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Allison Hooker met India Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri in New Delhi to translate the Trump-Modi vision into concrete progress during her five-day visit that began Sunday.
- At a time when ties are strained over 50 per cent tariffs, the US pressed India to curb Russian crude oil imports, which increased sharply by 2024-25, according to sources.
- The discussions focused on defence, energy, technology and trusted supply chains, and included the TRUST initiative, with India pledging to buy more American oil, gas and F-35 fighter jets and agreeing on a USD 500 billion annual trade target by 2030.
- The MEA said the consultations provided a comprehensive review of the India‑US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, welcoming steady progress and pledging to accelerate COMPACT cooperation.
- The visit appears aimed to keep political and strategic ties on track as the sides negotiate a bilateral trade deal; Hooker will also visit Bengaluru to meet ISRO and industry leaders.
