The Indian Ocean is highly important to the United States due to its critical role in global trade, particularly for oil shipments, as a significant portion of the world’s maritime oil traffic passes through its waters, making the stability of the region vital for the US economy and energy security; this is further amplified by increasing competition with China in the Indo-Pacific region, making the Indian Ocean a key strategic area for the US to maintain influence in. 

Key points about the Indian Ocean’s importance to the US:

• Trade routes:
  The Indian Ocean carries a large portion of the world’s bulk cargo and container shipping, including over 80% of global maritime oil shipments. 
• Strategic location:
  The Indian Ocean sits between critical regions like the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, making it a key geopolitical area. 
• Competition with China:
  As China expands its influence in the region, the US is increasingly focused on maintaining stability and access to the Indian Ocean [more like destabilizing the Indian Ocean]. 
• Military presence:
  The US maintains a military presence in the Indian Ocean, including the Diego Garcia base, to support “security operations.”
