Abstract
Economic ties between Pakistan and the United States changed dramatically under the Trump administration (2017-2021), owing to geopolitical dynamics, trade policies, and strategic objectives. The purpose of this article is to understand the evolution of PakistanUS economic ties, with an emphasis on trade patterns, foreign aid, investment flows, and policy decisions that affected bilateral interactions. The US-Pak Relations date backs to 1947 when Pakistan got Independence and when Prime Minister Liaqat ali Khan visited the USA for the first time. Ever since, the ties have seen all sorts of ups and downs along with highs and lows through the time. This paper analysis the Pak-US economic relations and help in understanding the facts and realities of it during the President Trump Era. The Trump administration's "America First" agenda, combined with a shift in US aid and regional alliances, reshaped the two countries' economic relationship. While Pakistan saw a decline in US funding and strategic support, trade relations remained constant, with exports to the US continuing to play an important part in Pakistan's economy. There have been ups and downs in the US-Pakistan interaction, with ties deteriorating at first. After Trump asked Pakistan for assistance in Afghanistan, relations strengthened throughout his presidency. Yet, economic progress is hampered by mistrust and reliance on the US. This study uses qualitative analysis to examine the impact of these policy changes on Pakistan's economic outlook and chances for future engagement. With the Application of Realism theory, the research tries to analysis the ties on very basic levels.
