Why is Trump suddenly so kind to Pakistan?

Kashmir For Kashmiris

When the G7 summit ended in Canada on June 17, 2025, all the leaders smiled for the cameras, shook hands and made big promises. But the real drama began when Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump missed meeting each other by just a few hours. Modi arrived at the summit as a guest and Trump left early. This was unusual because the two leaders have always given the impression of close relations.

That evening, the Indian Foreign Minister made it clear in Parliament that there was no discussion between Modi and Trump about any American mediation. But that same night, there was a 35-minute phone call between the two leaders. In this call, Modi told Trump bluntly that India did not need any American mediation in the Pakistan issue. This sentence was very unpleasant for Trump because only a month ago, the US was claiming to the world that it played a significant role in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. India openly rejected this narrative and this was what stung the US administration.
The very next day, June 18, Trump took a surprising step. He invited Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir to the White House. It was a historic and symbolic moment because it was the first time a serving Pakistani general had been formally welcomed to the White House by a US president. Obviously, the message for India was something else. Modi continued his scheduled visit to Croatia that same day and did not accept Trump's invitation. The aim was clearly not to trap Modi in a photoshoot with General Asim Munir.

Meanwhile, the US began to put trade pressure on India. Trump called India a "dead economy" and imposed a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods. But Modi said that India would never compromise on the interests of its farmers, dairy farmers and fishermen. This narrative began to stir public sentiment in India. There were talks of boycotting American brands on social media. Modi, while speaking in Bangalore, said that now is the time for India to prioritize its needs more.

Interestingly, Tesla opened its second showroom in Delhi in the same days. That is, despite the tension in relations, contacts were ongoing at the business level. In early August, Modi and Trump had another phone call in which they discussed the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East. At the same time, both assured to continue cooperation on the strategic partnership and the Quad. But the reality is that US policy is based on a strategy of applying strong pressure and coaxing countries.

Now the situation is that a deadline of August 27 has been given for a trade agreement so that India can be saved from the 50 percent tariff wall. The question is who will back down first.

My personal opinion is that America wants all the small issues to be resolved quickly so that its main focus can be on China. America has seen in the May Pak-India war that India alone is not so important that Pakistan and its supporting Muslim countries should be sacrificed to India.

I believe that there are three types of thinking in Washington. One section, under the influence of Israel and Indian ideologies, still insists that the Muslims should first be completely resolved and then move towards China. The second theory, under the influence of European countries, is that Russia should be eliminated first and Muslims are fish in a pot and will be caught and fried at any time.

The third theory has emerged from the recent administration in Washington, which believes that the most dangerous problem is China and that time is very short to solve it. This theory belongs to the Trump group. Under this theory, Trump also wants to stop the war with Israel, but Israel has the ability to control the entire Senate and Congress, including Trump, so despite Trump's best efforts, the war cannot be stopped. The European Union is the weakest group, so its innocent desire to eliminate Russia has been strangled for now.

I believe that pressure is being put on the Modi government to end the conflict between India and Pakistan in relation to this thinking of the Trump group. In my view, Trump's behavior is part of this strategy. Giving importance to Pakistan and increasing pressure on India. Think about it: if Kashmir and the other conflicts are somehow resolved, will Pakistan need China as much as it does now?
But I think that now the whole world is clearly seeing the tricks of America. Just yesterday Trump announced a secret plan that he will not let Russia and China get close to each other. I think that when the time comes, Pakistan will stand with China and God willing, now India will also be seen standing with China. Now no country is ready to tolerate the slavery of European imperialism any longer. Today the Chinese Foreign Minister is coming to India. I pray that the relations between India and China will improve.
