The Biden administration's delicate courting of India has a new wrinkle in the form of accusations from the Canadian government.
India is widely seen as a regional partner for the United States against China, and President Joe Biden has worked overtime to build that relationship. Biden met with Indian counterpart Narendra Modi at the White House in June, visited him in New Delhi earlier this month, and is considering another visit in January.Yet those meetings have always come with awkward questions about Modi's attitude toward press freedom and political dissent, which only grew more pointed this week.
— Insider Paper September 18, 2023 The Canadian government is pursuing a potential link between the Indian government and the June murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader who was killed in a British Columbia parking lot. India denies involvement and has accused Canada of harboring terrorists.
Biden, like former President Donald Trump before him, has worked hard to build a close relationship with India. Coincidentally, Biden and Modi have met twice within the last three months. Biden flew to India earlier this month for the Group of 20 meetings and met with Modi with no journalists present, causing more awkward questions for administration officials.
"The U.S.-India relationship has now spread across so many different sectors," Miller said."China is a thread that connects the sectors, but it's not the only issue.
