Previously, he served on the National Security Council (NSC) as special assistant to President George W. Bush and senior director for strategic planning and Southwest Asia. On the NSC he was a top negotiator of the pivotal 2005 U.S.-India Civil Nuclear Agreement – a landmark agreement that helped transform the U.S.-India relationship. In part one of our conversation with Ashley, we discussed India’s strategic calculus around its relations with Russia amid the Russia-Ukraine war. We also discussed the role of India’s tensions with China, and how the White House views India’s Russia ties.
