Washington, : The Obama Administration has requested to the US Congress for a steep decline in its economic and security aid to Pakistan for the year 2014, a latest Congressional report has said.
The request, if accepted, will see this aid coming down by more than one-third against that given to Pakistan in 2012.
"The Administration has requested nearly USD 1.2 billion economic and security aid to Pakistan for financial year 2014. This represents a steep decline from total assistance of about USD1.9 billion (excluding Coalition Support Fund) during financial year
2012," the report on US aid to Pakistan prepared by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) said.
