Pakistan and the United States established relations on 15 August 1947, a day after the independence of Pakistan, when the United States became one of the first nations to recognize the country.

The relationship between the two nations has been described as a "roller coaster" characterized by close coordination and lows marked by deep bilateral estrangement.[1] Despite the troubled history, the Pakistani military once occupied an important place in American geopolitical strategy,[2] and has been a major non-NATO ally since 2002.[3][4] After Pakistan's participation in the Afghan peace process and the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan in 2021, a sizeable number of US policy makers are revisiting the United States' relations with Pakistan.[5][6] At the same time, the strategic convergence of the United States and India has also brought greater pressure on Pakistani diplomacy.[7]

The conflicts sharply soured the public opinion in both nations, with public opinion of each nation ranking the other as one of the least favored countries in 2013.[8][9] As of 2014, 59% of Pakistanis consider the United States to be an enemy, reduced from 74% in 2012.[10][11][12] The Pakistanis have the least favorable view of US compared with 39 countries in the world surveyed by Pew.[13] US favorability has ranged between 10% (2002) to 23% (2005) in Pakistan between 1999 and 2013.[14] A Gallup poll showed that more than 72% of Pakistanis thought the United States was an enemy rather than a friend of Pakistan.[15]
