Our relationship with both India and Pakistan is ‘good': US
America's relationship with both India and Pakistan is 'good', the US State Department has said, asserting that the diplomats are 'committed to both nations'. Speaking at a briefing on Tuesday, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said that the US working with both nations is good news for the region and the world, and will promote a beneficial future. 'I would say that our relationship with both nations is as it has been, which is good. And that is the benefit of having a President who knows everyone, talks to everyone, and that is how we can bring differences together in this case. So it's clear that the diplomats here are committed to both nations,' Bruce said. She was responding to a question on the possibility of increased US assistance to Islamabad in terms of arms sales following Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir's meeting with Trump, and whether this was coming at the cost of Trump's relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Referring to the May conflict between India and Pakistan, Bruce added, 'Obviously, we had an experience with Pakistan and India when there was a conflict, one that could have developed into something quite horrible.' She said that there was 'immediate concern and immediate movement' with Vice President J D Vance, President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in 'addressing the nature of what was happening….we described the nature of the phone calls, the work that we did to stop the attacks and to then bring the parties together so we could have something that was enduring.' She also claimed that top leaders in the US were involved in 'stopping that potential catastrophe.' New Delhi has been maintaining that India and Pakistan halted their military actions following direct talks between their militaries without any mediation by the US. Bruce added that the recent peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan 'follows negotiated peace arrangements between Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia and Serbia and Kosovo.' Meanwhile, in an interview on Tuesday, Rubio said that 'credit goes to' Trump for helping bring several conflicts around the world to an end. Trump says he wants 'to be the President of peace. And so any time we see a conflict where we think we can make a difference, we get involved, and we've had good success in that regard. India-Pakistan, Thailand-Cambodia, the peace deal with Azerbaijan and Armenia, just a few days ago,' he said in an interview with 'Sid and Friends in the Morning'.

Eric Trump Said Adams Treated the Trump Family Company Well
Eric Trump, a son of the president and the top family executive at the Trump Organization, which manages the family's New York City office buildings, said Mayor Eric Adams of New York had always treated the family company well. His remarks came in a radio interview last week in which he discussed the criminal case against Mr. Adams and the debate over whether the criminal charges against him might be dropped or he would be pardoned by President Trump. 'This guy just never, never got in the way,' Eric Trump said in a radio interview last week, referring to Mr. Adams. 'He never tried to throw our company out in New York. He was always supportive of everything that we did. And I can appreciate that.' Instead, Eric Trump said in the interview with Sid Rosenberg, on Sid and Friends in the Morning on WABC, that Mr. Adams had been unfairly targeted by the Justice Department because he challenged the Biden administration on immigration issues. Eric Trump did not provide evidence to back up the assertion. 'No one believes that they're indicting somebody over getting an upgraded ticket on Turkish Airways,' Eric Trump said, referring incorrectly to Turkish Airlines. Mr. Adams is accused of receiving thousands of dollars' worth of travel benefits over several years, including upgrades on Turkish Airlines. 'And I can also appreciate somebody that had the guts to go against the Washington, D.C., machine.' Eric Trump participated in the meeting that President Trump had last month at Mar-a-Lago with Mr. Adams. The mayor said after the meeting that the criminal case was not discussed, but people briefed on the meeting said Mr. Trump did speak generally about what he described as the 'weaponized' Justice Department.
