Indian-American Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy advocates a stronger US-India alliance to reduce reliance on China. He wants India to commit to closing the Malacca Strait if a Taiwan conflict erupts. Following a breakout debate performance, Ramaswamy outlined his foreign policy vision, stressing the need to vigorously defend Taiwan due to its semiconductor dominance. He aims to counter China through enhanced partnerships with India, South Korea, and Japan. The entrepreneur-turned-politician favours strategic clarity against conventional Republican ambiguity. By urging an Indian role in Asian security, Ramaswamy signals ambitions to redefine US-India ties beyond the current cooperation.
