Trump and his administration know that China is the biggest threat to the US in the medium to long term, so what he's trying to do now is break up the relationships that China has with Russia and India. This is part of it, India's PM is also in the US right now and Trump just had talks with him on tariffs, trade, and some other stuff. If the US can have some kind of reasonable relations with India & Russia, it can start chipping away at the partnerships they have with China. This is what we call realpolitik, aka, The Great Game.
