Abstract

The United States’ Global War on Terror had brought the highest peak in the U.S-Pakistan relations which were once frozen in the 90s. For the next ten years, both countries enjoyed cordial relationships, however, the year of 2011 had brought a new low in their relations. Therefore, this study aims at overviewing the significant events in 2011 and its impact on the U.S-Pakistan relations. Based on the events between these two nations during the year of 2011, this study concludes that the U.S-Pakistan-relations suffered of huge setbacks due to various events which left a serious deterioration for many years and created a huge trust deficit.
