Pakistan's geopolitical clout at this point relative to the others in the region is pretty low, the end of the report provides a more realistic take and answer. The only area of mutual agreement is w.r.t militant groups finding save havens in Afghanistan, that's about it.I should also mention that the US military is boarding in favor of increasing ties with Pakistan, because they recognize how important Pakistan geopolitical positioning is. In the worst case, they want Pakistan's neutrality.
The decline in ties is almost entirely due to politics and politicians within the US who wanted a scapegoat to blame their failures on for Afghanistan.

However, a retired senior army officer played down the development.
Requesting anonymity, the officer, who previously dealt with the US, said despite this agreement it was not easy for Pakistan to buy military hardware from the US.
Referring to the growing strategic ties between the US and India, the officer said Washington’s long-term interests are not aligned with Islamabad. Nevertheless, the US needs Pakistan in certain critical areas and hence this agreement serves the purpose of both.
Pakistan once was one of the major recipients of military and security assistance from the US. But things began to change when the cold war ended and China started challenging the supremacy of the US.
The situation prompted Washington to seek closer cooperation with India to counter China. Pakistan, meanwhile, lost its decades of significance in the eyes of the US.
However, the renewal of the CIS-MOA suggests that the US at least does not want to downgrade ties with Pakistan, according to another source.
