"On behalf of the people of the United States, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the government and people of India as you celebrate your 77th Republic Day," Trump said in a post on X shared by the American embassy in India.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also conveyed greetings, pointing to expanding cooperation across key sectors. “From our close cooperation on defence, energy, critical minerals, and emerging technologies to our multi-layered engagement through the Quad, the US-India relationship delivers real results for our two countries and for the Indo-Pacific region,” Rubio said.
India and US relations have seen their ups and downs over the last year, the latter mainly due to tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on Indian imports followed by multiple threats of increasing the duties for Russian oil purchase.
