How to Deal with Him

Indian public opinion is incensed by

Trump

’s Truth Social post about having reached a deal with Pakistan, to prospect for and develop oil and natural gas in that country. He goes on to say that the search for the right company to undertake this work is ongoing. To add salt to the wound, he writes that perhaps in the future India could purchase oil from Pakistan. This has created a furore in our media, in Parliament and in our public at large.
As expected, opposition has labelled this development as the failure of govt’s foreign policy. And our people are wondering what Trump is up to, especially how he has got so close to Rawalpindi during this second term. Not only has he feted Field Marshal Asim Munir over lunch at the White House, but now US govt appears to be cozying up again with Islamabad.
