Overview
- The White House released a 33-page National Security Strategy that repeats President Trump’s claim he settled a May clash between India and Pakistan and lists eight conflicts he says he resolved.
- India’s government has consistently denied any third‑party mediation in the May de‑escalation following Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam attack.
- The strategy urges stronger security and commercial cooperation with India, including contributions to Indo‑Pacific security, the South China Sea, and continued work within the Quad.
- Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the new text marks a shift from the 2017 strategy by omitting explicit U.S. criticism of Pakistan’s links to militancy and its nuclear stewardship.
- Ramesh posted screenshots and the White House link to the document as he criticized the Modi government, building on earlier party jibes over Trump’s repeated peace claims.
