$1.66 billion security aid to Pak is suspended: Pentagon

[FalconStar]

I don't know how many times you can suspend the same AID again and again.
US already suspended it in January and then again after few months and then again and so on. They keep repeating this after every few months just to gain some attention in the media but good response from our PM, "now we'll do what's in our best interest".

"$1.66 billion of security assistance to Pakistan is suspended," Col Rob Manning, spokesman of the Department of Defense told reporters in an email response to questions on Tuesday.

No further breakdown of the suspended security assistance to Pakistan was provided.

According to David Sedney, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary Defense for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia during the previous Obama administration, the blocking of military assistance to Pakistan, which began in January of this year is a strong signal of American frustration.

Indian lobby is working very very hard it seems.
Although many Pakistani members would say, to hell with US Aid, but with dire economic situation this aid money was godsend.

The Aid was for security, don't think it's cancellation will have an impact on the economy itself, maybe indirectly if they see the need to increase defence expenditure.

This AID was never provided as direct money transfer, they used this money to pay for US made weapons, so all Pakistan got was some weapons.
So no benefit would have been provided to the Pakistani economy from this AID money. We're better off without it anyway.
