Trump is pushing India to China but can it offset cost of friction with US?

With Washington’s tariffs over Russian oil squeezing India, Modi is eyeing stability with Xi as trade flows restart. That's welcome news but at the same time it sharpens India's foreign policy dilemma

With relations with the United States under strain, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has welcomed a fresh opening in India-China relations, calling them “steady” and “guided by respect for each other’s interests”.
This comes ahead of Modi’s planned visit to China later this month — his first trip in seven years to attend a regional security summit meeting in the northeastern city of Tianjin. — where he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. Besides Xi, Russian President Vladimir Putin will also attend, bringing together three leaders at odds, to varying degrees, with the United States.
