India’s arrogance pushed US closer to Pakistan, says ex-US general
- We are now becoming much closer to Pakistan: ex-US general.
- Mark Kimmitt says development should concern New Delhi.
- President Trump has cordial relationship with COAS Munir, he adds.
Retired US brigadier general Mark Kimmitt has said that Washington’s growing closeness with Pakistan is largely due to India’s arrogance.
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the retired US general said that President Donald Trump has established a cordial relationship with Field Marshal Asim Munir — a development he said should concern New Delhi.
“India’s arrogance that’s been displayed to President Trump manifests itself in the fact that we are now becoming much closer to Pakistan,” he said.
“Field Marshal Munir has now a bromance with President Trump that should actually give India some pause,” Kimmitt added.
Friction between Modi and Trump grew after the US president repeatedly spoke about how he prevented a nuclear war — an assertion that India rejected, insisting the ceasefire was agreed upon directly between the two nations.
The tensions came to a head in a June 17 phone call with Narendra Modi, which was held after Trump left the Group of Seven summit in Canada early and couldn’t meet the Indian leader in person.
Field Marshal Munir last visited the US in June, where he held a rare one-on-one meeting with Trump at the White House Cabinet Room.
The June visit took place against the backdrop of an armed Pakistan-India conflict, during which Washington helped broker a ceasefire following Indian strikes inside Pakistan, which New Delhi claims targeted those responsible for the Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Pakistan responded with Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, downing multiple Indian fighter jets.
A day earlier, PM Modi had said that New Delhi and Washington still shared “very positive” ties.
The Indian PM, in a social media statement, expressed optimism about New Delhi’s relation with Washington after President Trump reaffirmed his personal friendship with the Indian premier and downplayed his earlier remarks about “losing India” to China.
“Deeply appreciate and fully reciprocate President Trump’s sentiments and positive assessment of our ties,” Modi wrote on X, adding that India and the United States shared a “very positive and forward-looking comprehensive and global strategic partnership”.
Earlier, Trump told reporters that he “will always be friends with Modi”.
“India and the United States have a special relationship. There is nothing to worry about,” Trump said, downplaying his earlier remarks about “losing India” to China.

Ice Spice slapped at McDonald’s by fan: Here’s what actually happened
American rapper Ice Spice got involved in a physical altercation at McDonald’s when a female fan approached her table and slapped her.
The incident reported by TMZ took place on Wednesday, April 15, when the 26-year-old was enjoying a meal with a friend.
The female fan approached their booth and tried to squeeze in next to the rapper’s companion.
When both of them asked her to leave, she became frustrated and hit Ice Spice.
The fight began inside the restaurant but quickly moved outside, where more video footage reveals the aggressor delivering a second punch. Both women fell to the ground during the brawl on the street.
Bradford Cohen, legal counsel for Ice Spice, issued a statement referring to the attack as an “unprovoked attack” that was reported to the LAPD.
Cohen clarified: “We will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly. We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”
The attacker is identified as Vayah, who told a different story. She said that Ice Spice behaved rudely and called her a “bit*h” when she tried to show her “some love.”
The video of the incident revealed that the rapper picked up the fan’s phone and threw it out of the restaurant.
For now, nobody has been arrested by the LAPD.

Duchess Sophie says ‘peace is the only option’ in tribute to Sudan victims
Duchess Sophie marked the third anniversary of the war in Sudan with a deeply focused visit to the headquarters of Plan International in London.
She joined youth advocates and government representatives to highlight world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
As patron of the children’s charity, the Duchess took part in a roundtable discussion examining the devastating impact the conflict has had on civilians.
Speaking during the event, she described Sudan as experiencing “the most horrendous human cost on the planet.”

Despite her experience speaking to women affected by conflict globally, the accounts emerging from Sudan stood out as some of the most distressing she has encountered.
She went on to stress the importance of sustained attention and international responsibility, saying, “No human should ever have to encounter such devastation and violence.
We must not forget them and I will keep raising my voice where and when I can.”
During the Plan International gathering, Sophie also added a handwritten message to a “tree of reflection,” writing: “Peace is the only option. The people of Sudan are not forgotten.”

Prince Michael of Kent makes rare appearance at Submariners’ London reception
Prince Michael of Kent hosted submariners for a formal dinner in London on Friday to recognise the growing contribution of reservists in front-line underwater operations.
The gathering took place at the historic Naval and Military Club known as the “In and Out Club,” where members of the Royal Navy Reserve Submarine Operations Specialisation joined senior naval officers for a special reception and dinner.
As Commodore-in-Chief Maritime Reserves, Prince Michael met personnel from the submarine reserve community and was briefed on recent achievements.
The event shows how modern training pathways are enabling reservists to step into demanding operational environments.
One of the key examples discussed was last year’s Operation Highmast carrier strike group deployment, during which a Submarine Operations reservist served aboard HMS Prince of Wales as part of the Submarine Advisory Team.
Their role supported underwater warfare coordination, ensuring smooth integration between surface and submarine operations during the task group’s return from the Pacific.
