Overview

• Jason Miller, a longtime Trump confidant and registered foreign agent for India, posted a photo confirming he met President Donald Trump in Washington this week.
• FARA filings show the Indian Embassy signed a one-year contract on May 21 with Miller’s firm, SHW Partners, worth $150,000 per month.
• Disclosures state SHW will provide strategic counsel, tactical planning, and government-relations assistance across federal, congressional, state, academic, and think-tank stakeholders.
• No official agenda for Miller’s White House meeting has been released by the participants or authorities.
• The engagement comes after the Trump administration on August 27 doubled tariffs on many Indian imports to 50 percent, including a new duty tied to India’s purchases of Russian crude, and it is reported as Miller’s first disclosed lobbying assignment since Trump returned to office.
