US approves extradition of suspect in 2008 Mumbai attacks, Trump announces

The U.S. has approved the extradition of a suspect linked to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, President Trump announced. The attacks, which killed 166 people, were attributed to the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The suspect, identified as Tahawwur Rana, is a Pakistani-origin businessman. He was previously sentenced in the U.S. for supporting the group. The U.S. Supreme Court recently denied his appeal against extradition. During the press conference, Trump addressed questions about Sikh separatists in the U.S. but did not provide a direct answer. Tensions regarding Sikh separatists have affected U.S.-India relations since 2023.
