As tensions rise with the US, the Indian Army’s Eastern Command shared a 1971 news article showing America’s past arms support to Pakistan. The post said, “US arms worth $2 billion shipped to Pakistan since ’54.” This came after US President Trump threatened higher tariffs on Indian goods over Russian oil imports. India’s Ministry of External Affairs called the threats “unjustified and unreasonable.” India also rejected Trump’s claim of brokering peace with Pakistan. The Army’s post is seen as a reminder of past US bias. India says it will protect its own interests and won’t be pressured by foreign powers. (PC: PTI)
