Bremmer Criticizes Trump Family's Business Ties with Pakistan

Ian Bremmer of Eurasia Group criticizes former US President Trump's family's business ties with Pakistan, suggesting they are driven by financial gain rather than strategic interests. He also comments on Saudi-Pakistan defense ties and their implications for regional security, particularly concerning India, amidst increasing tensions in the Middle East.

In an interview with ANI, Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer criticized the Trump family's involvement with Pakistan, describing it as primarily business-oriented rather than strategically driven. Bremmer pointed to a "lack of ethics" and "kleptocratic and oligarchic impulses" within the circle surrounding the Trump administration.

Addressing the mutual defense pact between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, Bremmer noted that the agreement was not kept a secret and suggested that the U.S. administration was aware of it before its announcement. He further clarified that the pact aligns with Saudi Arabia's ongoing nuclear collaborative efforts with Pakistan.

Bremmer expressed concerns about the implications of the Saudi-Pakistan pact on India's security, as it could compel India to reconsider its strategies in future conflicts with Pakistan. Additionally, he critiqued Trump's global political approach and praised leaders like India's Modi for standing up to Trump's pressures.
