US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer identifies India as a critical "waystation" for American companies exiting China, though emphasizing domestic manufacturing remains Washington's priority. Speaking to Fox News, Greer acknowledged India's vast workforce and growing manufacturing capacity make it vital for diversifying global production amid US-China decoupling efforts. However, he stressed reciprocity, insisting the relationship remain a "two-way street" benefiting American workers and exports. The remarks reflect Washington's "China Plus One" strategy, where India serves as a preferred secondary hub while America rebuilds its industrial base. India's "Make in India" initiative and Production Linked Incentive schemes align with US supply chain security goals, positioning India as a regulated partner in achieving economic resilience.
