Under President Donald Trump, the US is deepening military ties with Pakistan, leveraging its geographic location to project power in Asia. According to Professor Paul Poast, Pakistan offers a critical gateway closer to China and Iran, allowing the US to conduct operations with greater reach. Trump’s administration, emphasizing military dominance, recently hosted Pakistani leaders at the White House, a move signaling strategic prioritization over traditional diplomacy. Experts say these developments highlight the US’s willingness to openly embrace military primacy in its foreign policy, with Pakistan as a key facilitator.
