The article argues that the Trump administration’s limited appetite and capacity for global leadership explain why the U.S. isn’t spearheading an urgent diplomatic effort to defuse the latest India-Pakistan crisis over Kashmir. Trump’s initial, passive comments and a lack of broad U.S.-led coalition-building contrast with past U.S. interventions that helped cool similar flare-ups. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has engaged both sides, but there’s no sign of a comprehensive mediation push. The piece highlights Trump’s transactional, unilateral foreign policy, past stalled peacemaking efforts, and lack of clear U.S. interests in Kashmir as factors dampening engagement. Historically, Washington has intervened to prevent escalation—especially given nuclear risks—but the current response suggests a shift away from the traditional U.S. role, even as tit-for-tat strikes and domestic political pressures in India and Pakistan raise the risk of further escalation.
