USA has played it really well for both cases:
1.India gets into NSG
Indo-US strategic partnership gets a boost,economic ,strategic and diplomatic ,movement on all fronts.
2.India doesn't get into NSG with Chinese opposition after USA support.
Asia Pacific alliance for SCS gets strengthened, India will get involved in SCS further strengthening the partnership & nothing changes because of the waiver ,defence relationship will expand.
Best of all, the USA got India to sign the CISMOA/LSA, which would allow American troops to operate out of Indian soil.
In exchange for the NSG seat. Except... the USA can't deliver the NSG seat. Because we have veto.
Should have thought about that first. They already have what they wanted, they are definitely masters of playing the game.
