Comment: $255 million in aid is really just a drop in the bucket, particularly when compared to the $33 billion in aid over the past 15 years. The issue here for Pakistan and the US has little to do with aid. Pakistan has been moving closer to China in recent times with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor being built as a part of China's One Belt One Road initiative. This in and of itself doesn't necessitate a weakening of ties with the US. However, Washington doesn't do partnership well. They also understand the stabilizing influence that a stronger economy will bring for the region, which will have a direct hit against terrorist activity, particularly in the disputed Kashmir region through which the CPEC runs. Trump's outburst has only served as an opportunity for Pakistan to publicly distance relations with the United States. If this was intentional on Trump's part, then it would be genius. It likely was not intentional, but it still pushes developments in the right direction for South and Central Asia.
