The United States Trade Representative (USTR) removed a map of India from its official X (formerly Twitter) account after Pakistan protested strongly. The map showed all of Jammu and Kashmir, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, as part of India. It also showed the Aksai Chin region as Indian, a territory claimed by China. This map was posted on Friday but removed by Monday. Pakistan protested to both the US Embassy in Islamabad and the State Department in Washington. They said the map went against the US's long-standing position that Jammu and Kashmir is disputed, and the final status should follow UN Security Council resolutions. Sources said the map was likely taken from Google Maps, which was also used for a Bangladesh trade deal map. Pakistani officials warned that even outlines issued by a US government body carry political weight, especially on Kashmir. Indian media used the map to claim a US policy shift, so Pakistan acted quickly to remind the US of its consistent Kashmir position. The USTR press release announcing a US-India trade framework remains online, but the disputed India map is gone. A map for Bangladesh stays online, confirming the India map was likely posted by mistake. The trade deal aims to cut US tariffs on Indian goods to 18%. Pakistan calls India’s 2019 move to revoke Jammu and Kashmir's special status illegal. Islamabad says maps claiming Indian sovereignty undermine UN neutrality and international law. The inclusion of Aksai Chin adds to tensions since the US does not take sides in India-China disputes. The US has not commented on the map removal. Pakistani diplomats say this incident shows how maps can cause serious diplomatic issues on sensitive topics like Kashmir.
