As India accelerates its efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, US President Donald Trump's threat over the release of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) supplies calls into question the dynamics of the changing US-India relationship. Once the immediate concerns of the public health crisis are resolved, will India relook its areas and levels of engagement with the US, given President Trump's style of diplomacy? Is a global upsurge in economic nationalism a temporary measure to tackle the COVID-19 crisis or can a more permanently reduced economic and geopolitical interdependency be expected?

Is the reassessment of interdependency also expected to spill over to non-health issues such as 5G and critical infrastructure? Is a reset of the Sino-India relationship also underway post the pandemic?

Naghma Sahar, Senior Fellow at ORF in conversation with Harsh V. Pant, Director of Studies and Head of Strategic Studies Programme at ORF, explores the probable restructuring of India's bilateral relationships as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for international engagement and trade practices across the board.
