Pakistan and America: At a crossroads
[Dawn] WHETHER the US and Pakistain are engaged or estranged, their relations have never been without challenge. In a rare moment, ties are now at a crossroads. Washington does not know where Pakistain figures in its Indo-Pacific strategy. And Pakistain does not know how much space it has for the US in its relations with China.US-China tensions have created a schism in Pakistain’s strategic thinking. Its decision to skip President Joe Biden  ...... 46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.......’s Democracy Summit followed by the offer to be a bridge between the US and China signals Pakistain’s desire to be in both camps but also its uncertainty about Washington’s response. A new US ambassador is expected in Pakistain soon, and arriving as he will after his Senate hearing, may bring some clarity to Islamabad’s perceptions of US policies and help its own policy choices.
