In just over 100 days, President Trump’s second administration has set a fast-moving and unpredictable course in U.S. foreign policy. Executive orders, outcomes of high-profile meetings, and policy shifts have forced allies, partners, and adversaries alike to recalibrate their strategies. What does this mean for South Asia? U.S.-India ties remain strong but continue to navigate trade tensions. Pakistan seeks to leverage counterterrorism cooperation to bolster its relationship with Washington. A U.S. aid freeze raises pressing concerns for Bangladesh, while Sri Lanka grapples with economic uncertainty amid shifting U.S. trade policies. Meanwhile, China’s growing regional influence and intensifying U.S.-China competition continue to create new geostrategic challenges. Join the Asia Society Policy Institute for a timely webinar analyzing President Trump’s first 100 days and the impact on South Asia. Expert panelists will analyze the shifting global order; dissect critical policy transformations in trade, security, and immigration; assess emerging trends; and discuss how the region can navigate a Washington driven by an “America First” agenda. The virtual discussion, moderated by Farwa Aamer, Director of South Asia Initiatives, Asia Society Policy Institute, will feature Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, former Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States; Mukesh Aghi, President and Chief Executive Officer of US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF); Fahmida Khatun, Executive Director, Centre for Policy Dialogue, Bangladesh; and Bhagya Senaratne, Director of Education, Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies, Sri Lanka.
