Abstract

While focusing on India's reaction to Donald Trump's August 21st address to the US nation, this piece gives a brief overview of reactions in Pakistan (both by the civilian leadership and the military). The piece will then give an overview of reactions in India, to both the harsh words used by Pakistan, as well as the US President's call to India to do more in Afghanistan. While it is tough to predict how US policy will pan out towards Afghanistan, one major shift in Trump's approach is that unlike previous US administration's he has not really drawn any red lines for India's role in Afghanistan.
