The US Congress on Tuesday approved USD 25 million civilian aid package for Pakistan to strengthen democracy and promote women’s rights in the country, but President Trump has sent the bill back to Congress instead of signing it. He said that the Congress should remove unnecessary items from the bill.
The USD 25 million provision, reflecting revival of civilian aid package to Pakistan that was stopped by US President Donald Trump in January 2018 along with all security assistance, because of its non-cooperation in fight against terrorism, is part of the massive USD 2.3 trillion bill, that includes long-delayed coronavirus relief (USD 900 billion) and fund the government $ 1.4 trillion, passed by the Congress on Tuesday.
