Kindly educate yourself on the latest developments. US President Donald Trump approved ~$450 million for Pakistan to sustain its F-16 fighter jets after Pakistan's Army Chief cozied up. US-Pakistan strategic military ties have also now re-opened and further deals are on the table.

US wants airbase capability in Pakistan to bomb Iran - at-least that is what American military analysts are saying. Another compelling reason is exploitable rare earths and oil in Balochistan.

Do note that China is not sanctimoniously ordering India to stop buying oil from Russia, Iran and Venezuela.
