8 calls between Delhi, Washington in May-June: US lobbying firm

The Indian Express reports that American lobbying firm SHW Partners LLC, which was recently hired by India, has disclosed eight phone calls made between Indian and US officials in May-June 2025. These calls were arranged through SHW Partners in order to discuss "India-US relations" as part of the firm's political activities. Jason Miller, a senior aide to President Donald Trump, served as the president of SHW Partners LLC during this period.

The contract, which included a monthly payout of $150,000, was renewed in April 2025 and involved strategic counsel, tactical planning, and government relations assistance on various policy matters. Notably, the contract was terminated in June 2025 following Miller's appointment as a "special government employee" in the Trump administration.
