Obama has also made it clear that India posed no threat to Pakistan and that the latter rather faced the danger from terrorists within.
However, the initial signal coming from Obama's transition team has been a bit conflicting. While Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton has said the new Administration would build on the political and economic ties with India, the President himself has linked the Kashmir issue with the problem in Afghanistan.
At the same time, Obama also talked about discouraging outsourcing, a move, if implemented, could have an adverse impact on India.
