Pakistan US Relation: Why did the US go soft on Pakistan, why the White House reversed Biden's statement

Pakistan US Relation: A statement by US President Joe Biden created a ruckus in the politics of Pakistan. Biden said that nuclear-armed Pakistan is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. After this, a fresh review of the relationship between America and Pakistan started. The special thing is that this statement of Biden came at a time when Pakistan and America were coming closer to each other. The White House then defended Biden's statement. In such a situation, the question arises as to why the White House defended the President's statement after Biden's statement. What is the significance of this White House statement? Will there be any major change in the relationship between America and Pakistan?

What is the meaning of this statement of the White House

1- Foreign affairs expert Prof Harsh V Pant says that the US State Department has only defended the statement of US President Joe Biden. This statement of the White House has no major diplomatic meaning. This is not going to change much in the relationship between Pakistan and America. Prof Pant said that Biden's statement was having a psychological effect on the Pakistan government. He said that this statement of the White House should be taken as a defense of the sentiment towards America in Pakistan.

2- He said that relations between the US and Pakistan have deteriorated since 2011. Relations between the two countries had gone downhill during the tenure of former President Donald Trump. However, the foreign policy of the Biden administration is not as aggressive. He said that during Biden's tenure, there has been an attempt to strike a balance in relations with Pakistan, but the issues of differences and disputes still remain.

Pakistan's support for the Taliban in Afghanistan and the presence of a large number of militants on its soil has strained relations between the US and Pakistan in the past. The US is angry with Pakistan after al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden was found and killed there. Apart from this, due to the closeness of Pakistan and China, the relations between the two countries have been strained.

3- Prof Pant said that the big question is why President Biden made this statement. Prof Pant said that Biden sees Pakistan as a country with political instability. He said that at present, political instability is at its peak in Pakistan. The situation in Pakistan is very bad due to political instability as well as economic plight. Apart from this, Pakistan is also famous all over the world for its corruption. The growing influence of terrorism in Pakistan is a major concern for America. In such a situation, Pakistan cannot be trusted.

4- Prof Pant said that the image of Pakistan in the world is as a sponsoring country of terrorism. India has repeatedly warned the world about terrorist organizations operating from Pakistan in international forums. In such a situation, the concern on the part of America about the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons is justified.

5- Prof Pant said that before becoming the President of Biden, as a senator, he understands the politics of Pakistan better. Abdul Qadir Khan of Pakistan has also been accused of selling designs, cents and other parts to Iran and other countries. Khan is also suspected of providing nuclear technology to North Korea and Libya. Abdul Qadir Khan has publicly acknowledged this on a few occasions. Khan was arrested for leaking nuclear technology, but was pardoned by the then President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf.

What did Biden say after all?

1- Significantly, Biden said at a ceremony in Los Angeles on Friday that I think Pakistan is one of the most dangerous countries in the world, which has nuclear weapons and there is no harmony. Along with this, Biden also expressed concern over China, Russia and Pakistan. It was presented as three challenges to US foreign policy.

2- According to the report of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), the growing terrorist threat from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or Pakistani Taliban can give another blow to Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan itself has issued this warning. At a time when Pakistan is gearing up to rebuild its economy, fears of terror threats will undermine investor confidence. TTP will remain a big challenge for Pakistan throughout the year.

Pakistan Foreign Ministry took this step on Biden's statement

After this statement of Biden, the Pakistan Foreign Ministry has become strict. On behalf of Pakistan's spokesperson, US Ambassador Donald Blom has been asked to give an official explanation on the statement made by the US President on October 14. On the other hand, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto has said that Pakistan wants to know its official statement from America. Bhutto said that we have our own point of view on different issues, America also has its own point of view, but when you are a sensible and responsible country, you agree on some issues, disagree on some. I don't think it was his message to the country but it was an informal conversation.
