Trump Embraces Pakistan's Army Chief as Opposition Leaders Jailed

Original: As Trump Embraces Pakistan's Military Chief, Government Jails Elected Opposition Leaders

US President Donald Trump has warmly embraced Pakistan's military chief, even as Islamabad's government jails elected opposition leaders. Critics say the US administration's courting of Pakistan's powerful army commander gives cover to an unelected institution while democratic figures remain behind bars, drawing sharp commentary on Washington's priorities regarding democracy in South Asia.

Why now: The contrast between warm US-Pakistan military ties and the crackdown on elected opposition leaders is drawing criticism of US policy toward Islamabad.
