A Foreign Affairs report stated that the U.S. policy of relying on India has failed and called Pakistan a more reliable partner. It argued that India has never been a trustworthy ally, urging Washington to strengthen ties with Pakistan instead. The report cited former President Donald Trump’s praise for Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts and peace initiatives with India. It also noted that U.S. investments in Pakistan, such as in Reko Diq, could boost regional stability. The report warned that focusing only on India risks conflict, while Pakistan’s National Security Policy promotes balanced ties with both the U.S. and China, reflecting its historic role as a bridge between Washington and Beijing.
