Us-pakistan Relations

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he wants the United States to have a "dignified relationship" with Pakistan similar to what it shares with India.

Pakistan summoned a senior US diplomat here and lodged a strong protest over America's alleged "interference" in its internal affairs, according to media reports on Friday.

The United States continues to have a dialogue with Pakistan on issues related to terrorism along the border with Afghanistan, the Pentagon has said.

A US lawmaker has introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives to grant asylum to Pakistani woman Asia Bibi, who was acquitted by the Supreme Court in a blasphemy case, claiming she was "persecuted" in the Muslim-majority country for being a Christian.

Pakistan on Thursday said President Donald Trump's remarks that US wants a "great relationship" with Islamabad signals a departure from his stance taken at the beginning of 2018.

This past week, President Donald Trump - who has traded Twitter barbs with Khan and cut military assistance to Pakistan - asked him to help bring the Afghan Taliban to peace talks. On the porch outside his home here, he gave his first foreign interview as prime minister to The Washington Post's Lally Weymouth.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump following his remarks that Pakistan doesn't "do a damn thing" for the United States despite billions of dollars in U.S. aid for the South Asian nation.

The top US military officer, Marine General Joseph Dunford, said on Monday he was committed to the US-Pakistan relationship, which has been strained in recent weeks as Washington piles pressure on Islamabad to crack down on militants.

The White House said on Saturday there would be repercussions for US-Pakistan relations unless Islamabad took action to detain and charge a freed terrorist accused of masterminding a 2008 assault in Mumbai, India.

The US-Pakistan relationship is in "serious trouble" and the mistrust between the two countries runs deep, an expert on the bilateral ties at a top American think-tank has said, a day after Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif concluded his three-day visit to Washington.

The United States intends to work with Pakistan in fighting terrorism, Defence Secretary Jim Mattis has said, underlining that any responsible nation would want to do that.

Pakistan must ensure that its soil is not used for any terrorist attack against the neighbours, a top American General has said.

Frustrated with Pakistan's duplicity over its relationship with the US, a top American lawmaker has said Pakistan must be held accountable for continuously working against the interests of the United States.

The Trump administration has proposed to give Pakistan US $800 million as reimbursement for its military and logistical support in counter-terrorism operations in the next fiscal, a defence department official has said.

Pakistan should use diplomacy and not "proxies" that engage in violence to pursue its interests in Afghanistan and elsewhere, US National Security Adviser Lt Gen HR McMaster has said as he criticised the Pakistani leadership for selectively targeting terror groups.
