Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence
Pakistan has suffered increasing terrorist attacks since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, calling into question the ability of the government extend its writ to the violent trial areas bordering Afghanistan. And the U.S. military and security services will recall the warning of a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence sponsored the Haqqani network that attacked U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Will Pakistan demand the U.S. tilt away from India as the price of access? That will be hard for the Americans to do as Trump recently feted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a White House meeting as a “much better negotiator than me.” The two leaders agreed to work to resolve outstanding trade disputes and double bilateral trade in five years to $500 billion. สล็อต เว็บตรง
