Unlike Trump, Obama and Biden actually had a strategic vision for American global hegemony (for better or worse depending on one’s viewpoint). Every president since Clinton has actually worked toward cultivating a better relationship with India, yes — partly as a hedge against China’s predominance, but also because its practical to have a good relationship with the world’s most populated nation and fastest growing economies.
