Earlier this week, Washington reiterated support for Islamabad, calling South Asian country a key partner when it comes to shared challenges.
The development comes as terror attacks escalated in northwestern Pakistan as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ended the ceasefire and urged its fighters to carry out attacks across the country.
