The US-India relationship has faced challenges, particularly under President Joe Biden's administration. Despite cooperation on civilian nuclear technology since 2008 and expanded interactions through the Quad grouping, issues such as immigration, deportation, H1B visas for tech workers, and intelligence sharing have become partisan and explosive. The relationship was strained in February when Indians were deported by US military planes, and it was further tested in late 2023 when the US foiled a plot with Indian links to kill a Sikh separatist leader on US soil.
