Abstract
President Donald John Trump’s Strategy in Afghanistan and South Asia (SASA) is a serious threat to strategic balance in South Asia having direct implications for bilateral relations with Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and China. It is an attempt of the US policy-makers to tit for tat for growing bilateral relations between Pakistan and China after the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CEPC) and One Belt, One Road (OBOR) projects in Pakistan and in the Asia. It is a new turn in tumultuous relationship between Pakistan and the USA which requires in-depth consideration, analysis and review for its short term and long term implications for national security of Pakistan and already deteriorating bilateral relations between Pakistan and the USA. This Article aims to review brief history of Pakistan-USA relations in particular context of the SASA and its implications with particular reference to Pakistan’s future policy initiatives, guidance and review by both countries.
