This paper discusses the US administration's foreign policy toward India. The author argues that strengthening US-India ties and cooperation on Asia-Pacific security issues can advance US national interests in regional stability by reducing the risk of nuclear war on the subcontinent. The paper concludes that China and Pakistan may feel threatened by improved US-India relations, and that Pakistan may seek help from China or North Korea. It also concludes that Washington should counter this possibility by reassuring Beijing and also rebuilding badly damaged relations with Islamabad.
