US Senator Marco Rubio introduced a bill, the US-India Defense Cooperation Act, to enhance strategic ties with India and counter China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The bill aims to treat India on par with US allies for technology transfers, support India in its response to territorial threats, and bar Pakistan from receiving security assistance if it sponsors terrorism against India.
