  Amidst some tension with India over tariffs, the US is getting closer to Pakistan. Meanwhile, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has reminded America of its old memories. Jaishankar said that America is forgetting that the world's biggest terrorist Osama bin Laden was found in Pakistan's army camp in Abbottabad in 2011. He made this statement at a time when US President Donald Trump has claimed that he had brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Jaishankar's satire on Pakistan Jaishankar said that US-Pakistan relations have a long history and there is also a history of ignoring that history. He jokingly said, "When the Pakistani army gives a certificate to someone, it should be remembered that the same army was hiding Laden in Abbottabad." The Indian External Affairs Minister made it clear that India considers its relations with the US very important. He said, "I always keep the big picture in mind. I know what my strengths are and what the importance of my relationship is." Jaishankar's statement on Trump's claim Let us tell you that after India launched Operation Sindhur and Pakistan's failed attempts to attack India with drones and missiles, Trump had claimed that he had brokered a ceasefire between the two countries and resolved the conflict. To this, Jaishankar said, during every conflict, countries call each other. At that time, America and Pakistan also called. This is no secret. He clarified that it is normal to have conversations and phone calls, but it is wrong to say that the ceasefire happened due to the mediation of a third country.
