On Friday Pakistan told the Obama Administration to stop making accusations that “Pakistan is exporting violence to Afghanistan”. The previous statement was released from US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen who recently spoke in a Senate hearing. He also stated that Pakistan’s top spy network is closely linked to the Haqqani network, which is a group within the Taliban in Afghanistan. Pakistan’s Foreign minister responded to this accusation by saying that “You will lose an ally” and went on to explain how the United States could not afford to let relations with Pakistan deteriorate. I personally believe that the US will try to mend the damaged relations with Pakistan because Pakistan may provide the US with much help with future turmoil in the Middle East.
