'It's a Storm, Not a Rupture': Vikas Swarup on US-India Tensions

Former diplomat Vikas Swarup says, "We have to look at US' relationship with Pakistan in a different lens from the US' relationship with India. I think the relationship with Pakistan right now is a very tactical one and is a short-term one, primarily motivated by the financial gain that the Trump family and Witkoff family hope to make from the cryptocurrency assets in Pakistan. With India, I think, the relationship is much more strategic. It is not so transactional as it is with Pakistan. That is why I personally feel that it is a passing phase. I call it a storm, not a rupture. You just have to wait out the storms. All storms eventually pass.
