Dumb Rubio speaks with Pakistan’s Deputy PM Ishaq Dar after talks with Jaishankar
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio seems to be quite dumb. He has engaged Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar this week, right after having had a discussion with Indian External Affair Minister Shri S. Jaishankar.
Rubio has reflected a strategic mistake often made by USA. It should get into the American brain that USA cannot afford to equate India and Pakistan.
Nor any action of USA should even look like that they are trying to equate the two South Asian Countries. How will USA like of being equated with North Korea every time fir every thing !!!
Rubio’s conversation with Jaishankar focused on strengthening the US-India strategic partnership, emphasizing collaboration in the Indo-Pacific region, trade, and tariffs.
Both sides discussed reciprocal tariffs imposed by the US and agreed on the importance of concluding a bilateral trade agreement.
Jaishankar highlighted shared perspectives on regional issues, including Europe, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. The talks also underscored opportunities for deeper cooperation in defence, energy, and emerging technologies.
Rubio’s discussion with Ishaq Dar centred on counter-terrorism efforts, economic cooperation, and critical minerals. The talks marked Rubio’s first direct contact with Dar since assuming office.
Rubio expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts and emphasized expanding economic ties in sectors like critical minerals.
Both leaders addressed the issue of US military equipment left behind in Afghanistan and agreed to collaborate on regional security challenges.
Additionally, they discussed trade tariffs following recent US measures imposing higher tariffs on Pakistani imports.
These engagements highlight the US’s balancing act in South Asia, aiming to strengthen partnerships with both India and Pakistan while addressing distinct priorities with each country.
This is just not acceptable to Indians. USA may bilateral strengthen its relationship with Pakistan but BALANCING just forget.
