flag U.S. urges ending ties with Pakistan, demands apology to India over tariffs amid rising India-Pakistan tensions.

flag Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin urged the U.S. to end its close ties with Pakistan, calling the relationship strategically unjustified and advocating for Pakistan to be designated a state sponsor of terrorism. flag He criticized the White House hosting Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir, saying Munir should be arrested if he visits the U.S. again. flag Rubin also called for a formal U.S. apology to India over 50% tariffs on Indian imports—higher than those on Pakistan—citing India’s purchases of Russian oil, and emphasized that U.S. national interests and democratic alliances should take precedence over personal egos, including former President Trump’s reluctance to apologize. flag The remarks come amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions following India’s military operation in response to a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which led to a ceasefire after diplomatic talks.
