Pompeo backs India to ‘deal with’ Pakistan, China | Daily Tribune | Jun 13 2019
Don't see the word self-defense in there so i'm guessing 'deal with' means no US interference in Pakistans' favour like in the past.
“Under President Trump, we have taken our defence cooperation to new heights solidifying our common vision in the Indo-Pacific and has taken a far tougher stance on Pakistan’s unacceptable support for terrorism,” Pompeo told the India Ideas Summit in Washington on Wednesday.
“We respect India as a truly sovereign, important country, with its own unique politics and its own unique strategic challenges,” he said, adding: “We realise it’s different to deal with the likes of China and Pakistan from across the ocean than it is when they are on your borders.”
