Diplomatic gears shift into high gear as US Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau touches down in New Delhi today, kicking off a packed four-day itinerary anchored by the Raisina Dialogue 2026. Heading the American contingent, he’ll promote Trump’s ‘America First’ vision at India’s geopolitical powerhouse.

Expect a constellation of presidents, ministers, moguls, strategists, thinkers.
US-India trajectory dazzles: defense treaties, Pacific synergies, minerals/tech/energy integrations. This visit cements alliances amid turbulent tides.
