During the presidency of Democrat President Joe Biden, relations between Pakistan and the United States were mostly cold: no Pakistani official was invited to the White House, and there was no telephone conversation between the leaders of the two countries.

Then the second term of President Trump's presidency began in America, there was a war between India and Pakistan, and according to Islamabad, Washington played an important role in the ceasefire.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also credited President Trump with saving the lives of millions of people in South Asia. Relations between the two countries improved so rapidly that Trump's 'favourite field marshal' Asim Munir visited the White House twice and Shahbaz Sharif once.

Then in February 2026, after the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, Pakistan began to play a role as a mediator in this matter and the first talks between the US and Iran after decades were also held in Islamabad.

President Trump will now remain in the White House for two more years, but the Republican Party has lost its majority in Congress, making the Trump administration's authority almost certain to face challenges.
