Pakistan gives blow to Pakistan, after Trump administration, Pakistan will not get financial help even in Biden administration
In January 2018, former US President Donald Trump suspended all security aid for Pakistan. During this time, he had argued that he was not satisfied with Pakistan's cooperation and role in the fight against terrorism.
America has once again shocked Pakistan. The Biden administration has decided to continue the Trump administration's decision not to provide financial assistance to Pakistan for security assistance. The Pentagon has given this information after a conversation between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Pak General Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa on Monday.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said at a press conference, "US security aid to Pakistan will remain suspended in the Biden administration. I will not speculate about whether this will change in the future or not.'
In response to a question he has said, he was asked whether the Biden administration has reviewed the Trump administration's policies and whether the issue of financial assistance has been discussed during talks with Pakistan.

Prior to that, Kirby said, Austin spoke with General Bajwa to discuss shared regional interests and objectives. He said, "During the talks, the Secretary praised Pakistan's support for the Afghanistan peace talks and expressed a desire to continue building on the US-Pakistan bilateral relationship."
Austin said in a tweet, "I applaud the US-Pakistan relationship and have reiterated my desire to continue working together to advance regional security and stability." A day earlier, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met his Pakistani counterpart Moeed Yusuf in Geneva. National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horn said, 'The two sides discussed a number of bilateral, regional and global issues of mutual interest and ways to pursue practical cooperation. They have agreed to continue the conversation. '
