Pakistan Nearly Absent from Trump's NSS; India Denies 2025 Ceasefire Mediation

• Pakistan is largely absent from the Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS), despite General Asim Munir's efforts.
• The NSS mentions Pakistan only regarding a May 2025 limited war with India, claiming Trump mediated the peace.
• India consistently rejects Trump's claim of mediation in the India-Pakistan ceasefire, stating no third-party involvement.
• The 2025 NSS primarily focuses on China, the Indo-Pacific, and great-power competition, sidelining Pakistan.

Why It Matters: US security strategy largely omits Pakistan, signaling reduced importance.
