At the Rising Bharat Summit 2025, US foreign policy, counterterrorism, and international security expert Max Abrahms said that the United States sees India as crucial owing to its “power to contain China”.
“The United States (US) is very close with India because of our shared principle. Because India is the largest democracy in the world, but also increasingly important because of its power…Particularly from the US strategic perspective, India is seen as critical in terms of power to contain China…This administration although in a way is all over the place with Ukraine, Iran, Hamas, Houthis…but there is no issue geopolitically of more importance to this administration than the rise and potential threat of China. To that end, the relations with India are seen of paramount importance. We also see that in the Quad relationship,” said the Professor of Political Science at Northeastern University.
