US to sell F-16 fighter planes to Pakistan despite its ban on security aid to Islamabad 7/28/2019 11:27:28 PM After Pakistan Prime Minister held responsible previous Governments for exporting terror to India and Afghanistan the US Government has lifted suspensions of its promised security aid to Islamabad..And days af ter the meeting between President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Pentagon notified the Congress of its decision to approve military sales worth USD 125 million that would result in 24x7 end-use monitoring of the F-16 fighter jets of Pakistan.US officials asserted that the freeze in security assistance to Pakistan on Trump's direction since January 2018 was still in place and the latest decision would help it in 24x7 end-use monitoring of the F-16 fighter jets in that country as this would require the assignment of 60 contractor representatives there to assist in the oversight of the F-16 programme. "There has been no change to the security assistance suspension announced by the president in January 2018. As the president reiterated this week, we could consider the restoration of certain security assistance programmes consistent with the broader tenor of our relationship," This way Pakistan Prime Minister,Imran Khan's visit to Washington has proved beneficial to some extent otherwise the US administration has announced that its decisions to suspend its security aid to Pakistan would continue despite the fact that the US administration has decided to sell F-16 fighter planes to Islamabad and this would help America to sell F-16 fighter planes worth 125 million US dollars. And that is going to help the US to tide over its economic crunch and ease out piling of fighter planes This means that the US Government especially its President, Donald Trump, is not quite happy with the way Pakistan Government had not taken any action against terrorists operating in India, especially in Kashmir, and in Afghanistan. Trumpo wants military operations against terrorists and does not support export of terror to India and Afghanistan. He has suspended security aid worth billions of dollars to Pakistan because of Islamabad's refusal to initiate action against terrorists..This is a sound policy of India in support to US action against Pakistan.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
