Former US Security Advisor Jake Sullivan accused President Donald Trump of sacrificing ties with India to boost his family’s business deals in Pakistan. The Biden-era official called the sabotaging of ties with India “one of the most under-reported aspects of Trump’s foreign policy".

During an interview, Sullivan said, “For decades, on a bipartisan basis, the US has worked to strengthen its relationship with India, the world’s largest democracy—a country with which we should be aligned on technology, talent, economics, and in countering China’s strategic drift." He further noted, “Significant progress had been made on that front".

“Now, largely due to Pakistan’s willingness to engage in business deals with the Trump family, Trump has sidelined the India relationship. This is a major strategic setback because a strong India-US partnership serves our core interests," he added.
