The US Congress is expected to decide by the end of September whether to approve the reprogramming of USD300 million in Department of Defense (DoD) Coalition Support Funds (CSFs) originally meant for Pakistan but held back due to what Washington has described as a lack of decisive Pakistani actions in countering terrorism.

“USD300 million [of a total of USD800 million in CSFs] has been reprogrammed by the DoD for other urgent priorities before the funds expire on 30 September 2018,” Pentagon spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Koné Faulkner told Jane’s on 3 September, adding that the DoD expects to have a congressional response before the end of the month on whether it can implement reprogramming actions proposed in July.

Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal could grow from an estimated 140–150 to between 220 and 250 warheads within the next seven years if the South Asian country continues expanding its nuclear weapon programme and delivery capabilities, according to a report published on 31 August by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Authored by members of the Federation of American Scientists, the 12-page long report points out that the country is expanding its uranium-enrichment and plutonium production facilities, as well as developing several delivery systems.

“Pakistan continues to expand its nuclear arsenal with more warheads, more delivery systems, and a growing fissile materials production industry … We estimate that the country’s stockpile could … grow to 220 to 250 warheads by 2025, if the current trend continues,” states the report, pointing out that this would make Pakistan the world’s fifth-largest “nuclear weapon state”.
