ANALYSIS
NDTV covers the US withdrawal from Germany as directly linked to the Merz-Trump dispute. The headline is explicit: 'Germany's Iran Humiliating US Comment Costs It 5,000 American Troops.' Indian media highlights that the decision is 'an apparent US rebuke to the close NATO ally' — language that resonates in New Delhi.
India, which has maintained non-alignment for decades while strengthening partnerships with Washington within the Quad framework, watches this dispute as a test of American reliability as an ally. If Trump punishes Germany for verbal criticism of Iran strategy, what would happen if New Delhi publicly expressed reservations about a US policy in the region?
India also maintains economic and diplomatic relations with Russia, which indirectly benefits from the US withdrawal from Germany. New Delhi prefers not to comment publicly on this matter, but follows it with sustained attention.
