Strong congressional backing for India-US ties despite differences among governments: lawmakers

WASHINGTON: (May 19) India-US relationship enjoys bipartisan support in the US Congress despite disagreements between the governments of the two countries over trade and tariffs, US lawmakers said here, and urged New Delhi to play a greater role in addressing global issues.

Participating in the Capitol Hill Summit 2026 on Monday, Democrat Congressmen Ro Khanna and Ami Bera said India should play a larger role in addressing global issues such as the long-drawn Ukraine conflict.

Senator Steve Daines, a Republican from Montana, said India was among America’s most important geopolitical partners and the two countries shared strategic interests beyond trade and diplomacy.
