US had earlier designated BLA as Specially Designated Global Terrorist group & has now upgraded it to Foreign Terrorist Organisation, adding its militant wing Majeed Brigade to SDGT separately.
Like Turkey and Egypt, Pakistan is one of a handful of powers with the human resources and infrastructure to help secure the Persian Gulf as Trump’s America draws down its military presence.
I don’t believe that the US-India relationship has deteriorated beyond repair. There are ways of handling Trump, even if the Pakistanis have outplayed us this year.
American president did not name oil company which will lead exploration & development of Pakistan’s oil reserves. The bilateral tie has seen an uptick especially after Op Sindoor.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
In what Pakistan military claimed to be a show of ‘depth, cordiality of the dialogue,’ the Trump-Munir meeting went on for two hours despite being scheduled for an hour.
Speaking to reporters at White House ahead of scheduled meet with Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Munir, Trump also says, ‘We’re going to make a trade deal with Modi of India’.
Trump was first to announce India-Pakistan ceasefire, even before the two neighbours. Push by Islamabad comes as Washington, in recent years, has pivoted strongly towards India.
Analysts view the US President's 2nd tenure with 'expectation and fear'. While stakes are high, adapting to a more transactional, unpredictable global landscape will be key for Pakistan.
Forget comparing it with classics like Hrithik’s Ek Pal Ka Jeena or the slick title track of Dhoom 2, Janaab-e-Aali does not even come close to Ghungroo.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
