Pakistan eyes improved ties with US under Trump

 Pakistan aims to improve ties with the United States under President-elect Donald Trump – who takes over in January. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other Pakistani politicians had immediately congratulated Trump when he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent polls.

This would be Trump’s second term as the President. He has made a comeback after four years. During the previous tenure, he was quite critical of Pakistan’s policies, especially in the war on terror. Trump’s victory is expected to bring a new phase of American leadership, likely to test both democratic institutions domestically and international relations. “Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his historic win for a second term,” PM Sharif wrote on X. “I look forward to working closely with the incoming administration to strengthen and expand the Pakistan-US partnership.”
