Quad summit unlikely this year due to strained India-US ties

The Quad Summit is unlikely to be held this year due to strains in India-US relations and domestic issues within member states. The summit, previously eyed for November, faces delays as trade differences between the US and India, along with internal political matters in Japan and India, have stalled preparations. The Quad, comprising Australia, India, Japan, and the US, is a forum for discussing shared interests, but logistical arrangements and political priorities are currently hindering a leaders' level meeting.
