The Indo-Pacific appears to be a key area of focus for the Trump administration. Members of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue—which is known as the Quad and includes the United States, Australia, Japan, and India—have received particular attention. The Japanese and Indian prime ministers were among the first foreign leaders to meet with President Donald Trump. And Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s first major diplomatic engagement was a foreign ministers’ summit with his Japanese, Indian, and Australian counterparts. But much like Washington’s longtime allies in Europe, American partners in the Indo-Pacific are concerned about the future of the US-led alliance network.
Join Hudson for a conversation with Representative Ami Bera, MD (D-CA) on how bipartisan foreign policy cooperation can reinforce America’s longstanding commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
This event is part of the Motwani Jadeja US-India Dialogue Series funded by the Motwani Jadeja Family Foundation.
