A leading American magazine, Foreign Policy, has released a detailed report outlining the evolution of Pakistan–US relations, stating that Pakistan has achieved its most effective and successful diplomatic engagement during Donald Trump’s second term in office.
According to the report, President Trump developed strong personal chemistry with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, inviting both leaders to the White House on multiple occasions. This personal rapport significantly improved bilateral trust and cooperation.
The magazine notes that Pakistan earned President Trump’s confidence through timely support on critical security matters, including assistance in the arrest of the mastermind behind the Kabul bombing. The country also strengthened ties by investing in key sectors favored by Trump’s inner circle, such as lobbying networks, cryptocurrency, and mineral development.
One of the most notable achievements came in the field of critical minerals. A major milestone was a $500 million partnership between Pakistan’s Frontier Works Organization (FWO) and a US company. The report also highlights growing collaboration in the crypto sector, with the Pakistan Crypto Council expanding its cooperation with World Liberty Financial.
The report states that Trump’s approach toward India has become increasingly tough due to disagreements over tariffs, Russian oil imports, and recent Pakistan–India tensions. During the May ceasefire, Pakistan openly credited Trump for his role, while India rejected the claim—further influencing Washington’s narrative in Pakistan’s favor.
According to Foreign Policy, Pakistan aims to ensure that its relationship with the US is based on direct bilateral interests, rather than being viewed through the lens of any third country.
