US-India Tensions Rise
External Affairs Minister Jaishankar Says US Insensitivity Over Terrorism Strains Bilateral Ties
Anonymous
India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said Washington’s insufficient understanding of India’s concerns about cross-border terrorism from Pakistan is straining U.S.-India relations. Speaking in New York, he described terrorism attributed to a neighboring country as a deliberate policy pursued over decades and said that when a partner fails to appreciate an issue central to India’s security, it affects the broader relationship. Jaishankar also cited trade as a source of friction. His remarks come amid closer U.S. ties with Pakistan under President Donald Trump, while he cautioned separately that improved India-China relations reflect recovery from past deterioration rather than a fundamental change.

The U.S. had its own longstanding security concerns about Pakistan’s links to militant groups; Article 3 notes that Osama bin Laden was found living in Pakistan in 2011, nearly a decade after the September 11 attacks.

Jaishankar said India-China ties were better than in 2025 and better still compared with 2024, but cautioned that this was a recovery rather than a structural change.
3
The recovery in India-China relations followed the 2020 events and a prolonged border standoff, which had severely disrupted normal contact between the two countries.
