A calm hangs over a stormy horizon of challenges for Pakistan as Joe Biden’s shaky administration comes to an end and Donald Trump assumes the presidency. Pakistan must make sure its foreign policy is spot on under the volatile leader’s rule.
The situation in the region and around the world has changed significantly in recent years, even if Pakistan is not a new member of the Trump administration.
On August 15, 1947, Washington and Islamabad established diplomatic ties, and the US became one of the first two countries to recognize Pakistan.
Even with their relationship’s ups and downs, the US is still Pakistan’s most important ally, especially when it comes to security and counterterrorism.
