Although the US Presidential Election 2020 is still counting, Democratic nominee Joe Biden is emerging as the winner and is likely to be the country's next President. Pakistan also wishes for Biden's victory, along with a majority of Americans.
Due to his straightforward attitude, Pakistan has had a lot of problems with the Donald Trump administration in the last four years.
Joe Biden is an old diplomat and has had a cordial relationship with Pakistan, which is why he is rooting for Pakistan.
In 2008, Pakistan bestowed the second highest civilian award on Biden,' Hilal-e-Pakistan.' The plan to bring $1.5 billion in non-military assistance to Pakistan was approved by Joe Biden and Senator Richard Lugar. A 'Hilal-e-Pakistan' was also awarded to Lugar.
Notably, during Trump's tenure as President, relations between the US and Pakistan deteriorated due to his not-so-diplomatic approach, rendering him unpopular in Pakistan. In several public forums, US President Donald Trump has consistently lashed out at Pakistan.
Another incident that favoured Pakistan was that Joe Biden came out to help Kashmiris and contrasted the plight of Kashmiri Muslims with that of Bangladeshi Rohingyas and China's Uygar Muslims.
In a statement published in June 2020, approximately 10 months after the revocation of Article 370 of the Constitution by India, Biden asked New Delhi to restore Kashmiri rights.
Pakistani experts are hoping that relations between Pakistan and America will be better than today during Biden's tenure.
