Washington DC: Former US ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel has accused President Donald Trump of damaging long-standing US-India relations due to personal ego and alleged financial links involving his son and Pakistan. Speaking to news outlet MeidasTouch , Emanuel said Trump “threw away” decades of bipartisan diplomatic work that had positioned India as a key counterweight to China.
Emanuel, a Democrat and former Chicago mayor, claimed that Trump acted “out of ego and money from Pakistan,” alleging that both Trump’s son and an associate’s son received payments from the country. The remarks add to an increasingly sharp political discourse ahead of the 2028 US presidential race, in which Emanuel himself is reportedly considering a run.
