United States approves $450 million to maintain Pakistan Air Force’s F-16 programme

United States has approved a $450 million F-16 fighter jet fleet sustainment programme to Pakistan to help it meet current and future counterterrorism threats.
In 2018, Biden's predecessor Donald Trump had suspended about $2 billion in security aid to Islamabad for failing to dismantle their safe havens in the country.
The State Department said it has approved a possible foreign military sale of F-16 case for sustainment and related equipment for an estimated cost of $450 million.
United States argued that this will sustain Islamabad's capability to meet current and future counterterrorism threats by maintaining its F-16 fleet.
The Defence Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying the Congress of this possible sale on Wednesday.
According to the Congressional notification, the proposed sale does not include any new capabilities, weapons, or munitions.
