First of all without engaging Trump the engagement cant happen, because simply Trump is looking for more and more credit as his Epstein act is backfiring big.
India has engaged Trump which goes both ways, India trade deal is one of the big wins Trump can have and this is kind of India’s leverage on him.
He doesnt know shit about technicalities or frankly is not interested.
Also India has made QUAD more like a toothless all India can get tech access forum


Chinese and pakis both of them India doesnt want any third party although balancing our relations with west and russia has its own leverage for both.
Trump needs bragging rights
India needs technology and share of american supply chains
India will definitely need to concede somewhere and USA will need to concede somewhere otherwise trade deal wont go through but still engagement with Trump admin needs to continue
