Senate Questions Trump’s South Asia Pick Paul Kapur | New Diplomat Eyes Strategic Ties With Pakistan

Описание: Paul Kapur, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the critical role of Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs, appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for his nomination hearing. If confirmed, Kapur will be one of the most influential voices in shaping America’s South Asia policy, especially in its dealings with Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and beyond.

In his remarks, Kapur laid out a focused and cautious approach to Pakistan, stating:

“If confirmed, I will pursue security cooperation with Pakistan where it is in America's interest.”

He emphasized that all future cooperation—whether in defense, counterterrorism, or trade—would be strictly guided by US national interests.
Kapur also underlined the importance of bilateral trade and investment, indicating an openness to economic engagement with Pakistan, provided it aligns with Washington’s goals.

This nomination comes at a time when US-Pakistan ties remain strained, and India is emerging as a stronger strategic partner. Trump’s choice of Kapur signals a recalibration of American engagement in South Asia under a security-first lens.

Stay tuned as we break down the key moments from the hearing, Kapur’s policy roadmap, and what this could mean for the region.
