Pakistani Army Chief approaches United States to aid release of IMF funds

Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has appealed to the United States to help Islamabad secure an early dispersal of $1.2 billion in funds under the IMF loan programme, as Pakistan faces the risk of debt default due to dwindling foreign reserves. Pakistan’s economy needs around US$31 billion to be saved. As part of the estimated $31 billion in finance, which is less than the $35.1 billion in total requirements, Pakistan is in desperate need of these cash. Is the united states using IMF as a weapon to put countries under its control ?
