The United States is closely watching India-Pakistan relations every day, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday. He warned that ceasefires are fragile and hard to sustain, noting parallels with the Russia-Ukraine war. Rubio and President Trump both claimed Washington helped avert a possible nuclear clash, though India denied any external role. Pakistan, however, credits Trump’s intervention and has deepened engagement with the US. Washington now seeks to balance ties with both neighbors while valuing India’s strategic importance due to its ties with Russia.
