The original plan was to sell eight F-16s to Pakistan and finance most of the $699 million deal through FMF. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Republican Bob Corker and Democratic Ranking Member Ben Cardin had in early March announced that they would not approve FMF for Pakistan until it demonstrated “behavioral changes” in its support for terrorism and its dealings with India.
India has been strongly protesting the U.S. decision to give these fighters to Pakistan, and the matter figured in Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar’s meetings with U.S. officials last week in Washington. India has said these fighters could be used to threaten India, a concern that many U.S. lawmakers also have raised during a hearing on April 27. Mr. Modi will be addressing a joint session of the U.S. Congress on June 8.
The State Department announcement came on the fifth anniversary of the U.S. raid in Pakistan that killed Al- Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden. On a special CNN programme on the Laden raid, President Barack Obama said he took Pakistan at its word on its ignorance about the terror leader’s presence in its territory, but Hillary Clinton, who was then the Secretary of State, said she did not believe Pakistan. “I believe Pakistan knew,” she said. “We could not prove it,” she said, adding that it was too much of a coincidence that the Pakistani military did not notice the distinct building that housed OsamaWhile the U.S. is increasingly “frustrated with Pakistan” — as a diplomatic source put it — it cannot easily jettison it. Mr. Obama said in the interview that the U.S. had “excellent counter terrorism cooperation with Pakistan,” and on April 27, Special Envoy for Af-Pak Richard Olson argued that F-16s improved Pakistan’s counter terror capabilities.

Mr. Modi will be addressing a joint session of the U.S. Congress on June 8.
The State Department announcement came on the fifth anniversary of the U.S. raid in Pakistan that killed Al- Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden. On a special CNN programme on the Laden raid, President Barack Obama said he took Pakistan at its word on its ignorance about the terror leader’s presence in its territory, but Hillary Clinton, who was then the Secretary of State, said she did not believe Pakistan. “I believe Pakistan knew,” she said. “We could not prove it,” she said, adding that it was too much of a coincidence that the Pakistani military did not notice the distinct building that housed OsamaWhile the U.S. is increasingly “frustrated with Pakistan” — as a diplomatic source put it — it cannot easily jettison it. Mr. Obama said in the interview that the U.S. had “excellent counter terrorism cooperation with Pakistan,” and on April 27, Special Envoy for Af-Pak Richard Olson argued that F-16s improved Pakistan’s counter terror capabilities.
India has been strongly protesting the U.S. decision to give these fighters to Pakistan, and the matter figured in Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar’s meetings with U.S. officials last week in Washington. India has said these fighters could be used to threaten India, a concern that many U.S. lawmakers also have raised during a hearing on April 27.

Even the announcement of the U.S. decision to walk back on the F 16 deal.The original plan was to sell eight F-16s to Pakistan and finance most of the $699 million deal through FMF. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Republican Bob Corker and Democratic Ranking Member Ben Cardin had in early March announced that they would not approve FMF for Pakistan until it demonstrated “behavioral changes” in its support for terrorism and its dealings with India.
India has been strongly protesting the U.S. decision to give these fighters to Pakistan, and the matter figured in Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar’s meetings with U.S. officials last week in Washington. India has said these fighters could be used to threaten India, a concern that many U.S. lawmakers also have raised during a hearing on April 27. Mr. Modi will be addressing a joint session of the U.S. Congress on June 8.
The State Department announcement came on the fifth anniversary of the U.S. raid in Pakistan that killed Al- Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden. On a special CNN programme on the Laden raid, President Barack Obama said he took Pakistan at its word on its ignorance about the terror leader’s presence in its territory, but Hillary Clinton, who was then the Secretary of State, said she did not believe Pakistan. “I believe Pakistan knew,” she said. “We could not prove it,” she said, adding that it was too much of a coincidence that the Pakistani military did not notice the distinct building that housed OsamaWhile the U.S. is increasingly “frustrated with Pakistan” — as a diplomatic source put it — it cannot easily jettison it. Mr. Obama said in the interview that the U.S. had “excellent counter terrorism cooperation with Pakistan,” and on April 27, Special Envoy for Af-Pak Richard Olson argued that F-16s improved Pakistan’s counter terror capabilities.
