The India–U.S. TRUST initiative promises to transform strategic tech ties, from AI to defence to critical minerals. But can it really deliver in a world of rising trade tariffs and tightening export controls? Is this partnership about genuine co-development or just another way to shift dependencies?

In this episode of All Things Policy, Bhumika Sevkani and Anushka Saxena from the Indo-Pacific Studies Programme at the Takshashila Institution unpack the fine print of the TRUST initiative, launched earlier this year. They also break down what India stands to gain from the partnership, now revamped under Trump 2.0.

All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.
