The South China Morning Post reported on November 11 that, given the "smooth progress" of the India-US talks, Trump may plan to visit India in 2026, which could potentially lead to breakthroughs in trade negotiations. Trump said on November 6 that Modi has promised to reduce Russian oil imports, and the outlook for India-US negotiations is optimistic, which could help implement his 2026 visit to India, although the specific date has not been disclosed yet. Analysts pointed out that if Trump visits India, it would mark a rebound in US-India relations, but the Quad summit has been postponed due to multiple bilateral frictions and the specific date has not been determined, which raises hidden concerns for the improvement of US-India relations. In addition, although some Indian officials have repeatedly hinted that the US-India trade agreement is "imminent," Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal firmly stated that "India will not be forced to make a decision." It is worth noting that January 26, India's Republic Day, may become a key turning point. If Trump attends the celebrations in Delhi, it would send a strong signal that India remains a core part of US foreign policy.
