Former US National Security Advisor Jake Sulivan has accused President Donald Trump of damaging the US strategic relations with India to prefer his family’s business interests in Pakistan. Speaking to YouTube channel Meadastach, Sulivan said that Trump’s steps have caused a ‘huge strategic loss’ to the US by bypassing a significant partnership with India, which is extremely important to fight technology, economic support and China.
America-India relations decline
Sulivan insisted that the US and India have made “significant progress” in the last few years in forming a bilateral relationship based on shared democratic values and strategic interests. However, Trump’s Fisellejo is mainly inspired by trading deals associated with Trump family to prioritize relations with Pakistan. This has put this progress in danger. Sulivan said that due to Pakistan’s desire to have a business deal with the Trump family, he (Trump) has sidelined relations with India.

Tension increased over India’s Russia relations
Despite western sanctions, relations between India and the United States worsened after the Trump administration levied punitive fees on Indian goods, citing continuous imports of Russian oil and defense equipment by India. Trump reiterated his criticism on social media, called business relations ‘completely unilateral disaster’ and accused India of buying most of its oil and military products from Russia. His colleagues also targeted India for allegedly earning profits from Russian crude oil, these allegations increased diplomatic tension.
Trump’s growing relationship with Pakistan
As the tension with India increases, Trump’s relationship with Pakistan became even more sweet. Earlier this year, his family’s Cryptocurrency firm, World Liberty Finance (WLF) entered into agreements with the Pakistan Crypto Council to promote blockchain investment. In July, Trump announced a trade agreement with Pakistan and promised American aid for the development of Pakistan’s ‘huge oil reserves’. The announcement was made at the White House just after the hosting of Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, where trade and economic development was discussed.
