US President Donald Trump calling out Pakistan on Twitter for giving safe haven to terrorists, and suggesting that the US stop giving itany more aid constitute the clearest articulation by any US President on the subject. The early morning tweet from President Trumpis a heartening message for India, which has consistently highlighted the Pakistan’s support for terrorists. While Trump’s statementrepresents a diplomatic victory for India, a clear recognition of its concerns, New Delhi cannot expect anything more fromWashington. Tackling Pakistan remains something that India needs to do, but the support is welcome. _________________________.

If the US were to stop all support to Pakistan now, it would be one more arena that it cedes to China.
India must take the US’ unambiguous statement as recognition of its position.
For the rest, India must forestall armed intervention by Pak proxies and work to undermine the founding ideology of Pakistan.
It must leverage this moment to push for Islamabad’s diplomatic isolation.
President Trump tweeted while on holiday and apparently without consultation with his advisers.
