Maritime Safety & Shipping Risk: At the G7 in Evian, PM Modi pressed President Trump to protect seafarers and keep the Strait of Hormuz open after US strikes killed Indian crew aboard the Palau-flagged tanker MT Settebello; Modi called safety “foremost,” while Trump offered only a brief acknowledgement, keeping tensions over rules of engagement alive. Palau in the Spotlight: The Settebello incident has put Palau’s flag status under scrutiny amid wider talk of “flags of convenience,” even as India’s embassy reports the remaining rescued crew are returning home. Disaster Response in the Region: US-led Pacific Partnership 2026 will send about 300 personnel across seven stops over five months, focusing on medical, engineering, and disaster management support for Pacific nations, including activities in Fiji and Palau.
