  "account": "A recent Pew Research Center report reveals that Indians are three times more likely than Pakistanis to express favorable views of the United States. In the survey conducted across 36 countries, only 15% of Pakistani adults had a positive opinion of the US, while a substantial 90% supported China. Conversely, 45% of Indian adults favored the US, and only 23% favored China. Indian Muslims lean more towards China, yet overall, they hold negative views of both countries. This positive tilt towards the US is notable even as Pakistan has strengthened ties with the US, praising Trump's role in mediating an India-Pakistan ceasefire and attempting to broker a peace deal between the US and Iran. Despite this, trade tensions persist between the US and India, and both nations criticize each other's trade practices. The report surveyed 3,566 Indians and 1,039 Pakistanis, revealing a consistent pattern: Indians favor the US more than Pakistanis favor China.",
  "summary": "The report reveals a growing bond between the US and Pakistan while highlighting stark differences in perceptions of global allies between India and Pakistan.",
