Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director, ORF America was quoted in article by Deccan Herald on the upcoming meeting of the QUAD countries’ foreign ministers:
“The Quad restarted under Trump in his first term. That seems to be a positive sign, but perhaps it's also showing that this is a US that knows that it is in a much more competitive landscape. And this idea that we had in the 1990s and early 2000s that they could take the rest of the world for granted, is no longer there,” he said.

Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director, ORF America was interviewed by The Economics Times on the upcoming Trump administration and how it may impact U.S.-India relations:
"If you look at what Trump's demands are: he says American allies are free riders, that they should be doing more: NATO allies, Japan. He doesn't like foreign aid. So, on many issues, India is not really going to be directly affected because he doesn't see India as a problem," said Jaishankar, whose latest book "Vishwa Shastra" recently hit the bookstores.
"I think there are two issues where there will be some bumps. One, again, is on some trade issues where India enjoys quite a large trade surplus with the US. And again, some around Trump see that India is engaging in unfettered trade practices. India says, no, it's not, and points to the fact that India is in fact a net importer for much of the rest of the world. It's a consumer-based economy," he said.

Another complication: The ouster by protesters this year of Bangladesh’s India-friendly prime minister Sheikh Hasina raised fears in New Delhi that the Muslim-majority nation will endanger India’s security by lurching toward religious extremism. Ms. Hasina’s exit “left scars with the security establishment in India” and strengthened skeptics of closer cooperation with the U.S., said Dhruva Jaishankar, executive director of the think tank Observer Research Foundation America, in a phone interview.
