Former US top officials have appealed to Washington to stop looking at India and Pakistan from the same strategic perspective. He says that US President Donald Trump should abandon the India-Pakistan policy and instead, look and understand his relations with New Delhi and Islamabad in different ways.

In a joint article published in Foreign Affairs, former US National Security Advisor Jake Sulivan and former Deputy Foreign Minister Kurt Campbell wrote, “Washington should avoid keeping their relations with India and Pakistan at the same level. There should be no ‘India-Pakistan’ policy.”

Former American top officials told India’s importance
He argued that in recent years the inclination of American diplomacy has been towards New Delhi and is also the reason for this. The US is associated with permanent interests with Pakistan in dealing with terrorism, limiting nuclear and missile spread, but these interests also fade in front of Washington’s multidimensional and important interests about India. “

‘America was pushing India into the hands of its scrapers’
Jake Sulivan and Kurt Campbell said that Donald Trump’s tariff, India’s purchase of oil from Russia, renewed tension between the US and India in relation to Pakistan, due to all this, there has been a rapid decline in the relations between New Delhi and Washington, in which there is also a matter of public insults.

Campbell advised India and said, “Prime Minister Modi should not bow down to President Trump at all.” He also said, “America can have the opposite impact of pressurizing India’s relationship with Russia. If you tell India that leaves their relations with Russia, then the strategists of India will reverse it right.”

Campbell insisted on this, saying, “The most important relationship in the field of technology, education and military cooperation for America in the 21st century is between America and India and now it is in danger.”
