WASHINGTON: The Pakistan Political Action Committee (Pakistan PAC) has endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 US Presidential election, emphasising his potential to improve US-Pakistan relations and support democratic principles in Pakistan.

`We are proud to endorse Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election,` the committee announced on Friday.

`After extensive meetings with the Trump andHarris campaigns, we believe the former president is the candidate who will improve US-Pakistan relations and promote true democracy in Pakistan,` it added.

In the United States, a Political Action Committee (PAC) is a tax-exempt organisation that gathers campaign contributions from its members and directs those funds to support or oppose political candidates.

The committee criticised the Biden administration`s stance on political issues inPakistan, stating that it `has taken no action to stop political repression in Pakistan`. In response, allies of Pakistan PAC in Congress have taken action, with a bipartisan group sending a letter to the Biden administration, urging immediate measures.

Meanwhile, a group of leading Muslim American figures in the US national security sphere has voiced its support for the Democratic ticket in the upcoming election.
