President Trump is preparing for a highly anticipated visit to the Middle East as tensions rise across the region.
How is President Trump approaching his foreign policy trip?
Here to break down the president's diplomatic efforts and the brewing conflicts is Daily Wire's senior editor, Kabat-Phillips A. Kabat. So let's start with what's happening with India and Pakistan. Very concerning there. Get us up to speed here.
So the two countries, each with large nuclear arsenals, have long been bitter rivals, feuding over everything from disputed borderlines to religion. But in the past week, we've seen just a dramatic escalation that has the two now on the brink of all-out war. In late April, a group of Islamic militants crossed from Pakistan to Indian-controlled Kashmir and slaughtered 26 tourists. India accused the Pakistani government of being involved in that attack and responded Wednesday with military strikes on Pakistan's heavily populated Punjab region, killing more than two dozen and injuring 46 others. India says that they targeted, quote, terror camps. Pakistan says they killed civilians, including worshippers at two mosques.
And now the world is holding its breath to see if and how Pakistan is going to respond. For more on how serious this situation is, I spoke with Professor Anthony Glees, security expert from the University of Buckingham.
Pakistan's authorities are also saying that in the Punjab, a mosque was attacked. And that is like a red rag to a raging bull when bearing in mind what happened. Islamists, so extreme Muslims might make of the situation. Both populations, the Indian population, demand retribution, and the Pakistani population are now demanding retribution.
For their part, the Trump administration has largely avoided taking a side. Keep in mind, both of these countries are considered US allies. The White House simply said that they will engage the two to find a, quote, peaceful solution. Here's Glees on what a peace could look like.
The best thing that would happen would be that India would say, our honor is satisfied. We've taught the Islamists well. who we believe are being nurtured and cherished by Pakistan. We taught them a lesson they won't forget. We're not going to take this any further. And Pakistan will say we will try to gain something back from India, but we at the moment are going to... consider our position. We may attack in the future. It will be at a time and a place of our choosing, but we're not going to get into tit for tat.
Pakistan has said they are mounting a military response to India strikes. It remains to be seen if that's just saber rattling or a true declaration of war. While we wait to find out, the Middle East and really the whole world is holding its breath.
