US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the US's deepening strategic relationship with Pakistan does not undermine its ties with India. Speaking to reporters en route to Doha on Saturday, Rubio emphasized that this approach reflects a mature and pragmatic foreign policy. The recent strengthening of US-Pakistan relations under President Donald Trump has been a source of concern for New Delhi. This development comes amid strained relations between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pakistan and India, two nuclear-armed neighbors with a contentious history, nearly engaged in full-scale war in May.
