In this interview, Pramit Pal Chaudhuri, Head of India Practice, Euroasia Group, examines the implications of the changing political landscape for India-US relations, arguing that the impact could be felt across trade, energy and immigration. One major concern is Russian oil. If India were to reduce or stop its purchases of Russian crude under US pressure, the consequences could extend beyond energy imports. India is also a major exporter of diesel, and any disruption to this trade could affect global supplies and prices. Trade negotiations present another challenge. India must navigate US tariff pressures while competing with manufacturing and export economies such as Vietnam and China. The discussion also examines the future of H-1B visas, a critical route for Indian technology professionals. While legal challenges could affect the proposed $100,000 fee, the larger shift towards artificial intelligence and changing IT business models may make the traditional H-1B-dependent model increasingly difficult to sustain. At a broader level, the interview questions whether India's long-standing strategic partnership with the US can remain insulated from Washington's increasingly transactional approach to international relationships.
