India Seeks to Recalibrate China Ties
INDIA, JUL 21 – India lodged diplomatic protests after Trump hosted Pakistan's military chief, prompting New Delhi to reassess China ties amid concerns over US-Pakistan engagement and regional security risks.
- In June 2025, when US President Donald Trump met with Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House, Indian officials discreetly expressed their displeasure to their American counterparts.
- India protested because the US is engaging Pakistan intensely despite India's concerns over cross-border terrorism and recent India-Pakistan conflicts in May and April 2025.
- The conflict included Indian strikes on terrorist targets after a deadly April attack on Hindu tourists in Kashmir, followed by a cease-fire agreed through talks between army commanders without US mediation.
- Senior Indian officials emphasized that cross-border terrorism remains a non-negotiable issue and expressed concerns over President Trump’s unpredictable approach, which is now impacting trade negotiations, while India adjusts its relationship with China to serve as a strategic safeguard.
- The meeting and rising tensions have damaged US-India relations, slowed down trade negotiations, and led India to suggest imposing countermeasures on US goods at the World Trade Organization in July 2025.

Did Trump Really Stop a War?
The assertion that trade diplomacy single-handedly averted a major military conflagration between India and Pakistan in 2025, as recently reiterated, presents a dangerously oversimplified and potentially misleading narrative of South Asian geopolitics.
