U.S. says its relations with India Pakistan not ‘zero-sum proposition’

The Biden administration views the India and Pakistan relationships as not a ‘zero-sum proposition’, U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price has said. His comments, made at a regular briefing, were in response to a question on U.S. foreign policy to Pakistan, given that it borders both Afghanistan and India. “I think the point we would want to make is that United States has important relationships with India, as I said, but also with Pakistan. These relationships stand on their own in our view. They are not a zero-sum proposition when it comes to U.S. foreign policy,” Mr. Price said.
