Hmm...signaling?

Not signaling,it should be the obvious.
Just hope that they dont cancel the AMCA project in the future.

Visakhapatnam was recently visited by the U.S. Navy with two of their ships docked at our Vizag port.

I was invited on behalf ‪@USEmbassyNewDelhi‬ and ‪@USConsulateHyderabad‬ to witness its interiors and for the first time on YouTube, interview the crew!

I also had the opportunity to see a little bit of the city for the first time ever. Hope you enjoyed this one, hit like and subscribe to our channel for more.

On a visit to New Delhi, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles has said his country’s relationship with India is “the highest priority” as they mark the fifth anniversary of their comprehensive strategic partnership. Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in Singapore that the growing defense relationship with India passes “new milestones by the day.” As concerns over China’s military buildup grow among all three nations, and the United States increasingly sees India as a counter to China in the Indo-Pacific, what does India make of this Western stance? Does New Delhi have a divergent approach? And is there a limit to its U.S. and Australian defense relationships as it pursues a policy of strategic autonomy, including an ongoing friendship with Russia?

Despite trade tensions over U.S. tariffs on Indian goods, India and the U.S. launched Yudh Abhyas 2025, their largest-ever joint Army exercise in Alaska, involving 400 troops and advanced tactical drills. The U.S. Embassy reaffirmed strong bilateral ties. The exercise emphasises interoperability for UN peacekeeping and counter-terrorism. The U.S. will showcase its Stryker vehicle, while Quad partners prepare for the Malabar naval drill. President Trump may skip the upcoming QUAD Summit in New Delhi amid strained diplomatic relations.

As China escalates its saber-rattling in the Indo-Pacific, India has actively sought security pacts with other regional powers, including recent agreements with Australia to provide logistical support to military aircraft and Australia-US-UK (Aukus) nuclear-powered submarines. These deals come amid questions over US President Donald Trump’s global military strategy and commitments to the region. India, Australia and the US — along with Japan — launched the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) in 2007, but how relevant is that framework in 2025? And how could these pacts help in the event of a military conflict in the Taiwan Strait? In this episode, we discuss the India-Australia friendship, naval and air logistics, the future of the Quad, and other recent security developments in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and beyond.

18%

Good if it holds...that would be a lower tariff than any major ASEAN state (19%), Bangladesh (20%), Vietnam (20%) or Pakistan (19%). Major competitive advantage for exporters of labour-intensive sectors like textiles, leather goods etc. Businesses in Pakistan in particular cannot be happy about this...they were already fuming at the EU FTA which saw their competitive advantage evaporate in a big way. Now the US market too.

At least until Trump's next flip-flop, that is

What's more interesting is that it seems we'll have a major hand in refining the type of sour crude (which most refineries elsewhere in the world can't handle) that just got unlocked in Venezuela. It'll need some investment though. US drilling & Indian refining could make a lot of money for both as it would bring a huge new source of crude online. But that could be bad news for both Russia & the MidEast though.
