The US says it is withholding some $800m in military aid to Pakistan.
White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley told ABC television that Pakistan had "taken some steps that have given us reason to pause on some of the aid".
He said the US raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in May had affected ties but he insisted the relationship "must be made to work over time".
The $800m (£500m) equates to about a third of the annual US security aid to Pakistan, US officials say.
In figures submitted to the International Monetary Fund last autumn, Pakistan's defence expenditure in its 2010-2011 budget was put at $6.41bn - an increase of $1.27bn on the previous year.
It seems that America is either: 1: No longer interested in Pakistan's policies, or 2: Something else that I can't guess...
What do you guys think?
Interesting. Good move though, unless the military starts cooperating, then no money for them. Much better than the blank checks and straight up support they used to receive.
Damn it! Why didn't I see that? Anyways, you can merge the threads. And my own hopes that I actually doing something important for the forum are crushed...
