Trump's Shifting Alliances: A New Approach to India and Pakistan

The US, under Trump, seems to be changing its relationship with India and Pakistan.

He's making things harder for India by using trade tactics and even sanctioning a port India invested in.

Meanwhile, Trump is cozying up to Pakistan, possibly because Pakistan praised his role in a ceasefire and nominated him for a Nobel Prize.

The author believes Trump is pursuing this strategy based on his political desires, not necessarily on what's best for the long term.

Some also believe that Trump is supporting Pakistan to counter China's increasing influence in the area.
