They cautioned that continued tariff tensions could drive India closer to China and Russia \u2014 nations that directly compete with the U.S. for global influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shared Democratic Values at Stake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter underscored that both countries share deep democratic traditions and values distinguishing them from authoritarian regimes. \u201cOur partnership demonstrates to the world that free and open societies can prosper through cooperation and mutual respect,\u201d the members noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>India\u2019s Strategic Role in the Indo-Pacific<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawmakers warned that the tariffs come at a sensitive time when India is playing a stabilizing role in the Indo-Pacific region and collaborating in The Quad alliance alongside the U.S., Japan, and Australia. Maintaining strong U.S.-India ties, they said, is crucial to counter China\u2019s expanding assertiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Call for Policy Review and Reset<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter\u2019s signatories include prominent Indian-American members such as Raja Krishnamoorthi, Suhas Subramanyam, Pramila Jayapal, and Shri Thanedar. They urged the Trump administration to begin repairing ties by reviewing and reversing the recent tariff measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, other U.S. lawmakers raised similar concerns, warning that aggressive trade policies could undermine America\u2019s national security by alienating one of its key democratic allies in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant political development, Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna and Congresswoman Deborah Ross have led a group of 19 U.S. lawmakers urging President Donald Trump to mend America\u2019s strained relationship with India.
