India Shifts Focus to Europe for Strategic Autonomy Amid US Uncertainty

India is pivoting towards Europe amid concerns over its reliance on the US, particularly in light of unpredictable policies under Donald Trump and the strategic threat posed by China.

Europe, now emphasizing strategic autonomy post-Ukraine invasion, presents a promising partner for India, aligning on defense and technology while offering an alternative to traditional reliance on Russia and the US. However, India must navigate existing frictions, including its stance on Russia, while Europe must establish itself as a reliable partner to facilitate deeper cooperation.
