Donald
Trump or Joe Biden: Whose victory will be better for Pakistan?
Decision-makers
and key figures in the federal capital, Islamabad, also have their say in the
US presidential election, but the situation is no longer the same as it was in
1980, when Pakistan's conservative political parties openly supported
Republican presidential candidates.
In this day and age, Pakistan's political and
governmental circles prefer to hide their likes in this regard.
In the 1980s and 1990s, when Pakistan's political climate was tense due to ideological conflicts in the region
following the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, Pakistan's right-wing
political forces fielded Republican candidates in the US presidential election. The tax was supported.
This was at a time when some right-wing
newspapers were openly supporting former President George W. Bush (Sr.) in the
US election.
The main reason for doing so was that the
Republican Party had generously provided material and financial support to the
Afghan 'Mujahideen' in the war in Afghanistan, but times have changed. Today,
it is impossible to find a person in Islamabad who openly supports one of the
US presidential candidates. But this does not mean that Pakistanis have no keen
interest in the US presidential race or have any likes or dislikes in this
regard.
Some in the House of Representatives in
Islamabad believes that if President Donald Trump is re-elected, it will be in
Pakistan's best interests. This section in government circles is mostly made up
of members of the ruling party who believe that Prime Minister Imran Khan has
established a special relationship with President Trump over the past two years
and if President Trump is re-elected. But once they emerge, these relations
will continue.
Fahad
Hussain, an editor of the English-language daily Dawn in Islamabad, commented on
this section of Pakistani government circles supporting the US president,
saying there were clear indications that Pakistani government circles wanted
Donald Trump. Win the presidential election again.
In Fahad Hussain's opinion, "If President
Trump wins for the second time according to the priorities of Pakistani
government circles, there are indications of two kinds of progress in future
Pakistan-US relations." He believes that over the past two years Relations
between President Trump and Prime Minister Imran Khan have grown significantly.
