However, at least one legislator, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, offered to use his power to assist mend the harm that Imran Khan’s anti-American remarks caused to US-Pakistan ties. Michigan Peter Meijer Recalled That His Father Had Visited Pakistan: Republican congressman from Michigan Peter Meijer recalled that his father had visited Pakistan at a period when Washington and Islamabad were developing “economic and geopolitical connections.”

Speaking on the Hill at the Pakistan-American Political Action Committee (PAKPACfourth )’s annual conference, the congressman added, “Now we have an opportunity to continue to develop those ties.” A powerful Republican legislator from Texas named Congressman Admiral Ronny Jackson, who also served in the US Navy, declared that he was “a major fan of the organisation (PAKPAC) and your cause” and pledged to “do all I can to help” advance it in Congress. Rebuilding The Strong Links: The cause of the group is “rebuilding the strong links” that formerly bound the two nations before tensions over Afghanistan arose.
