After having been cold, the warmth in the relations between the US and Pakistan, post the Pahalgam terror and the Operation Sindoor against it, has revived.
Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir has reached Washington on an invitation by the US to take part in the military parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US army.
He is a guest of Centcom Commander General Michael Kurilla who recently praised Pakistan as a "'phenomenal'' partner in counter terrorism at a Congressional hearing.
Media reports say that the warmth in the ties between the two countries has revived after being in hibernation for a decade and a half.
The reports say that Trump business chums' role in reviving the relations between two countries has been crucial.
Close-to-Trump businessman Gentry Beach led a US investor delegation to Pakistan, immediately after Trump took the oath as the President second time. Beach company signed an agreement with Pakistan exploration of gold and other minerals.
After meeting the top Pakistani leaders, Beach started praising Pakistan in Washington calling it an "amazing country.
He said that Pakistan had been on the "frontlines'' in war on terrorism and "sacrificed'' much for America. President Trump also recently praised Pakistan saying that "Pakistan has a very strong leadership. Some people won't like it when I say that, but it what it is.”

Internation relations are not monochromatic, and morality has no place. American foreign policy has always been transactional.
