India to protest against Pakistan's nuclear threat to US
India is set to formally protest to the US after Pakistan's Army Chief, Asim Munir, made alarming nuclear threats during his recent American visit—saying if pushed, Pakistan would take "half the world down" with it.
India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri called out this kind of talk as unacceptable nuclear blackmail.
India-US relations
India's move signals real worries about nuclear threats coming from a country with a complex relationship with the US, which could shake up regional peace and global security efforts.
This comes on top of existing trade tensions between India and the US over tariffs and energy ties with Russia.
Still, Indian officials say these disputes—and the planned protest—won't derail bigger partnerships with the US in areas like defense and trade.
It's a reminder of how tricky diplomacy can get when security and economic interests collide.
