Trump Backs Pakistan on Balochistan: What’s Behind the Move? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Описание: The United States has designated the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a terrorist organisation — a move welcomed by Pakistan. The BLA, also known as the Majeed Brigade, is a separatist group fighting to break Balochistan away from Pakistan and has intensified attacks in recent years. While the designation criminalises any support for the group within the U.S., its real impact is limited outside America. So why did Donald Trump make this decision now? Analysts point to Balochistan’s untapped mineral wealth — from oil and gas to copper and gold — as the real prize. Pakistan is courting global investors, including the U.S., China, and Saudi Arabia, to develop resources it claims are worth trillions. But history shows that U.S. presidents who pursued short-term gains in Pakistan often faced long-term setbacks. Is Trump walking the same path?
