Trump gives Pakistan's F-16 a nearly $400 million boost; What it means for the debt ridden nation

Despite a sweeping 90-day freeze on foreign aid, US President Donald Trump has approved $397 million for Pakistan to sustain its F-16 fighter jets for counter-terrorism efforts. This move contrasts with his earlier decision to halt security assistance to Islamabad in 2018. The funds are part of broader security-related exemptions, while humanitarian aid has seen significantly fewer approvals. Legal challenges against the foreign aid freeze continue, with uncertainty looming over future exemptions.
