2014年，莫迪出任印度新一届政府总理，美印关系出现了一些变化，双方加强合作的意愿十分明显。莫迪政府希望引进美国的资金和技术，促进印度经济发展。印度还希望美国能帮助其维护在亚太地区的安全利益。奥巴马政府则把印度视为其“亚太再平衡”战略的重要一环，希望其在平衡中国的地区影响力方面发挥作用。美国政府希望加强双边经贸往来，在新兴市场中获得更多商机。2014年以来，美印两国在亚太战略、国防产品、民用核能及气候变化等方面都开始了务实合作，并取得了积极的进展。但双方在经贸领域、防务合作方面还存在分歧，巴基斯坦对美印合作持有不同看法，这些因素都是两国关系改善的掣肘。未来美印合作还存在不确定性，挑战和机遇并存。
The U.S.-India relations began to change after Modi became the new Indian prime minister in 2014. Both sides strongly expect to strengthen cooperation. The Modi administration hopes to lure American capital and technology to promote the economic development of India. India also expects the U.S. to help secure its national interest and security in the Asia-Pacific region. The Obama administration regards India as an important partner in the Asia-Pacific Rebalancing Strategy，hoping that India will play a role in balancing China’s regional influence. The US government hopes to obtain more business opportunities in the emerging market by promoting bilateral trade cooperation. Since 2014，the U.S. and India have cooperated in Asia-Pacific strategy，defense products，civil nuclear energy，and climate change. The cooperation has made positive progress. However，the U.S.-India cooperation has its divergences in trade，security，and defense. Pakistan holds different views toward the U.S.-India cooperation. These factors all hinder the improvement of the bilateral relationship. There are still uncertainties in the U.S. –India cooperation. Challenges and opportunities coexist.
