Pakistan-Iran and the Trump Administration from 2016 to 2020
Donald Trump and his phenomenon of populism in the Western world are explained in this study. His blistering attack on Pakistan in a speech for receiving a massive amount in coalition support program but not doing enough against the Taliban, particularly against the Haqqani network is discussed.Ultimately the US did cut off and stopped the support fund but Pakistan didn't go against the Taliban for its own reasons. With the advent of Imran Khan's Populist government, the relations between US and Pakistan turned sour US didn't completely disengage itself from Pakistan, however, Pakistan's economic woes increased. Trump also unilaterally withdrew from the landmark Iranian nuclear deal to the utter dismay of its European allies. Pakistan's President Imran Khan tried to have better relations between Iran and Pakistan but the Saudi factor has impinged upon the relations between the two countries. The role of leadership has also delved into which steers the relations in a certain direction and impacts the policies of a
country.
