Significant Shortcomings Alert: Biden is Struggling to Find Success in India The Biden administration’s approach to the U.S.-India partnership has fallen short in a number of important areas. These could cause problems in the months and years ahead. In recent weeks, the Biden administration has undertaken a flurry of diplomatic activity with allies and partners across the Indo-Pacific region. One of its most important goals has been advancing the United States’ relationship with India, a central partner in U.S. efforts to offset rising Chinese power. So far, there are mixed results on the report card. Despite several successes, significant shortcomings, not least the determination to deny Trump administration achievements, raise concerns for the future.
