Dr. Imran Khurshid’s article titled “Trump’s Asia Policy Is Crumbling” was published in EurAsian Times on 27 December 2025
The article critically analyses the growing incoherence in U.S. Asia policy under President Donald Trump, highlighting how contradictory strategic choices are undermining Washington’s own objective of countering China. It argues that inconsistent U.S. engagement in South Asia—particularly involving Pakistan—risks weakening India’s regional position while enabling China’s expanding influence across the subcontinent. The piece further underscores that great-power competition is simultaneous and interconnected, warning that the absence of a coherent and regionally grounded U.S. strategy carries serious implications for the Indo-Pacific balance and the broader Asian security landscape.
