A senior US official visiting Islamabad has made clear to Pakistan that the Biden administration has downgraded the bilateral relationship.
On the eve of her arrival, the deputy secretary of state, Wendy Sherman, used a public event in Mumbai to lay out in blunt terms the new parameters of US-Pakistan relations, stressing there would be no equivalence with Washington’s deepening ties to India....
...A planned meeting with the prime minister, Imran Khan, never materialised. Senior Pakistan government officials told the Guardian that there was diplomatic tension between the two countries that needed to be resolved and that Khan was angry that he had still not received a phone call from Joe Biden....The cold approach has come as a shock to Islamabad, which had been accustomed to Trump’s informal and personal relationship with Khan....

Interesting once again the VP Harris is no where in sight of any foreign relations.
This is significant...always...when Biden’s people are on the move such as this development...more setting the stage.
Biden is convinced that he is a superior oligarch to Khan, when in fact internbationally he is a draconian psychopomp, a laughing stock because of his bitter clinging to his utopian ideology.
Khan will dismiss Biden and cornhole everyone of Biden’s staff.
Trump knows enough to walk arm in arm with his enemies, so he could easily put the squeeze on each of them. This upset Biden and his press , drove them to distraction. It worked.
Donald trump is deeply respected and loved in India and in Saudi Arabia because he knows how to palaver and work the deal.
Khan made a grave mistake in thinking Biden would be the same. As a matter of fact, compared to The Donald, Biden is a stone cold idiot.Khan now realizes he is dealing with an idiot.Watch as Khan figures out which string to pull to allow Biden to virtue signal internationally, and Khan will then be able to get anything he wants from Biden, much to the detriment of America.
Treat others with contempt and watch them stick you and twist the knife.
That’s what Jesus would do....
Now the Afghanistan is gone I guess we don’t need Pakistan as much, at least not now.
Why should one expect godly behavior from an ungodly administration.
Pretty cheeky. Turn your own?
Wow, BeijingBiden talks tough to the regional AlQuida (sp? — couldn’t care less) supporters.
Like I said, this idiot’s proclamations are random. Normally, he and his ilk would support Islamic terrorism since it is aligned with the totalitarian aims of his masters — the CCP.
Biden administration delivers brusque message to Pakistan
We will no longer ship any repeat any ice cream unless you guys quit it out and be nice.
I have no problem with the U.S. clearly not treating Pakistan on a par with our relations with India. EVERY Pakistan administration has been lying and duplicitous in its relations with the U.S. and China has always been Pakistan’s ally. There is zero doubt in the world that the North Korean nuclear arms program was begun with assistance from Pakistan and facilitated in that connection through China.
Biden speaks loud and carries a little stick...
“Brusque message”? A bit too little too late. After Pakistan took billions in US $$$ aid and still helped the Taliban on the side and made a total chump of the whole mighty US military and diplomatic establishment, something more than a “bursque message” would have been well-deserved.
