Shafaqna India: Taking a swipe at the Centre over the new US National Security Strategy, the Congress on Saturday said it marks a notable shift in the American approach to Pakistan and avoids the explicit criticism seen in the 2017 Donald Trump-era strategy document, which had openly accused Islamabad of supporting militants targeting US partners.
Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said this is mentioned in the 33-page National Security Strategy document recently released by the White House. He shared screenshots of the document, which also refers to Trump’s recent claims about stopping the India-Pakistan conflict in May this year.
The opposition party pointed out that the document reiterates US President Donald Trump’s claim that he settled the “raging conflict” between India and Pakistan.
“In his introduction to the document, President Trump reiterates his claim that he ‘settled the raging conflict between India and Pakistan’. The same claim is repeated on Page 8,” Ramesh said.
He added on social media that the 2025 National Security Strategy “marks a notable shift in the US approach to Pakistan”.
