Abstract
President Donald Trump’s announcement of revision of policies towards South Asia in August 2017 gave a new strategy for Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. This policy has resemblance with that of Obama in many spheres but deviates from Obama’s as well, especially in the case of India. South Asia is now in the position of constant change, and this flux is getting complexed by Trump’s policy. Trump’s approach towards Islamabad is skeptical and harsh, and his idea of broader role must be played by New Delhi in the matters of Afghanistan is very much concerning, and more precisely threatening for the national interest of Islamabad. It seems that Donald Trump’s practical policy application has been different from the one he had verbally conveyed. This paper thoroughly describes every aspect of the policy of Trump towards South Asia in the light of his speech made regarding South Asia. It has also description that why South Asia is important to America, and how the policy of Trump could not be favorable for the region and can create a further increased divide into this least integrated region.
