Kurt Campbell, former U.S. deputy secretary of state, has expressed alarm over the rapid deterioration of U.S.-India relations, citing U.S. President Donald Trump's intense pressure on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a key factor. Campbell highlighted that Trump's demands, particularly regarding India's ties with Russia, have placed Modi in a challenging position, prompting Indian strategists to resist U.S. directives. While hopeful for eventual reconciliation, Campbell emphasized the significant damage already inflicted, describing the decline in bilateral trust as a critical concern in recent months.
