Donald Trump is not taking much interest in stopping the India Pakistan war unlike 2019 when…, is it because…
India Pakistan war: After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India has responded strongly to Pakistan through Operation Sindoor. The tension between the two countries has reached the brink of full-scale war. India targeted terrorist bases in Pakistan. However, surprisingly, there seems to be no effort from the United States to stop this war, even as the situation between India and Pakistan is critical. Donald Trump, after Operation Sindoor, simply stated, “I just hope it ends quickly.” On Wednesday, May 7 he said, “I meet with both, I know both very well, and I want to see them resolve it. They are against each other. So hopefully they can stop now. If there’s something I can do to help, I’ll be there.”
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spoken on the phone with top officials from India and Pakistan, but he has not yet provided any information about what efforts are being made by the United States to ease tensions between the two countries. So is it because the time for diplomacy has not yet come? Does the U.S. want that the time for diplomacy will come only when war reaches its peak between the two neighbouring countries?
When India and Pakistan were on the verge of getting embroiled in a war after the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22, the Trump administration did not begin its homework. The United States played a crucial role in stopping the conflict between India and Pakistan in 2000, 2008, and 2019. Mike Pompeo, who served as Secretary of State during Donald Trump’s first term, reminiscing about the period in 2019 when tensions arose between India and Pakistan following the Pulwama terrorist attack, wrote in his book “Never Give an Inch” that “I don’t think the world really understands how close India-Pakistan rivalry came to a nuclear conflict in February 2019.”
The conditions in 2025 are moving beyond 2019. While some Muslim-majority countries are playing a significant role in calming the war between India and Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are among the foremost.
