'Trump sacrificed India-US relations for business in Pakistan', former NSA makes a big claim

News Topical, Digital Desk : Former US National Security Advisor (NSA) Jake Sullivan has made a sensational allegation against President Donald Trump. Sullivan says that Trump put at stake decades-old relations with a big democracy like India for his family's business interests with Pakistan.

In an interview to a YouTube channel, Sullivan questioned Trump's foreign policy. He said the move is a "huge strategic loss" for the US, especially when strong ties with India are key to dealing with threats like China.

Sullivan said that the US has worked for decades with the support of both parties to strengthen its relations with India. India is the world's largest democracy. America can have a strong ally in the field of technology, talent and economy. But Trump ignored these relations for the business benefits of his family.

Trump's trade alliance with Pakistan

Sullivan said that the Trump family's business deals with Pakistan are a major reason for this change. In April 2024, World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency platform backed by Trump, signed several agreements with the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). These agreements were aimed at promoting investment and innovation in the crypto industry.

Trump and his associates hold a 60% stake in WLF. The American delegation for this deal also included Zachary Witkoff, son of Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff.

In June, the Pakistan Army claimed that its Field Marshal Asim Munir and Trump met at the White House. During this, trade, economic development and cryptocurrency were discussed. According to the Pakistan Army, Trump expressed his desire for a "long-term strategic partnership" and business relations based on "mutual interests".

Trump's stance against India

In July, Trump announced a major trade deal with Pakistan and threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Indian goods.

He said the US would help Pakistan develop its alleged vast oil reserves. "We have made a deal with Pakistan where we will work together to develop their oil reserves," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Sullivan warned that Trump's move is not only harming relations with India, but is also sending a message to other countries of the world, such as Germany, Japan or Canada, that America cannot be trusted. Due to this, other countries will feel hesitant in relations with America.

America's credibility questioned

Sullivan said that America's word is its strength. Friendly countries should trust America, but Trump's move has not only weakened relations with India, but America's credibility is being questioned all over the world.
