New Delhi, May 17 (PTI) Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Sunday said US President Donald Trump’s warm embrace of Pakistan post Operation Sindoor is a diplomatic setback for India.

In a post on X, Ramesh cited a book by Dr Paul Miller, who has penned an informative history of America’s involvement in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021.

The Congress leader said Miller identified several reasons why the US suffered such a humiliation in Afghanistan, one of which he says was the duplicitous role of Pakistan.

“He explains in great detail how Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump-I and Biden ended up being deeply suspicious and distrustful of Pakistan.

“This makes President Trump-II’s warm embrace of Pakistan post Operation Sindoor all the more astonishing.

“This is even more of a diplomatic setback for India, given that Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi was among the earliest leaders to visit the White House in mid-February 2025, just a month after President Trump’s second swearing-in,” Ramesh said in his post. PTI SKC ARI ARI
