American legislators across the aisle have warmly welcomed the breakthrough US-India trade agreement, hailing it as a strategic fresh start for the globe’s biggest democracies. Expect surges in trade volumes, fortified energy ties, and heightened geopolitical teamwork.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who traces his roots to India, called it an essential pivot post-tariff tensions. ‘This deal propels one of our key alliances forward,’ he told media, explaining mutual gains for jobs, commerce, and tech from closer India links. It helps both nations leave behind a tense chapter of economic harm.
‘Big win across the board!’ exclaimed Sen. Steve Daines, crediting Trump and Modi. India’s fourth-ranked global economy offers huge avenues for US goods, especially farm products and energy. Daines highlighted India’s shift to US oil as a rebuke to Russia, but stressed trade balance tweaks ahead.
Sen. Jim Risch, Foreign Relations chair, termed it a ‘big win,’ thanking Trump and India’s openness reforms. Strategically, it’s gold: more US exports to India curb Russian influence, bolster Ukraine resolution pushes by starving Moscow’s energy funds, leveraging strong US-India diaspora bonds.
Sen. Lindsey Graham connected dots to anti-Russia efforts, saying pressure on energy importers is ramping up. ‘India sets the example—others must act,’ he declared, foreseeing Russia’s negotiation push under duress. Amid ambitions for robust trade, energy, and Indo-Pacific synergy, this pact signals a thriving era of collaboration between old allies.
