US fears Canada-India row could disrupt strategy for countering China

India Today  

The Biden administration is nervously watching a dispute between Canada and India, with some officials concerned it could upend the US strategy toward the Indo-Pacific that is directed at blunting China’s influence there and elsewhere. Perhaps of more concern, though, is that the Canada-India dispute could have major implications for one of the administration’s main foreign policy priorities: the Indo-Pacific strategy, which seeks to counter China’s increasing assertiveness in the region, according to numerous US officials who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the extreme sensitivity of the matter. Shortly after Trudeau made public his allegations last month and expelled a senior Indian diplomat, U.S. officials began to fret over the possibility that Canada might decide to go “full Skripal” with mass diplomatic expulsions and make requests, as the British did in 2018, of its allies to do the same. Trudeau and other Canadian officials, including Foreign Minister Melanie Joly, have hinted that Canada won’t take reciprocal measures.
