Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Bill 119 hr 94, also known as the "To terminate the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally, and for other purposes" bill, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of ending Pakistan's status as a major non-NATO ally. This designation was originally granted to Pakistan in 2004 to recognize its support in the fight against terrorism.

The bill seeks to revoke this designation due to concerns about Pakistan's alleged support for terrorist groups and its failure to fully cooperate with the United States in combating terrorism. Supporters of the bill argue that Pakistan has not lived up to its commitments as a major non-NATO ally and that it is no longer in the best interests of the United States to maintain this designation.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that revoking Pakistan's status as a major non-NATO ally could harm US-Pakistan relations and undermine efforts to combat terrorism in the region. They also point out that Pakistan has made significant sacrifices in the fight against terrorism and that it is important to maintain a strong partnership with the country. Overall, the bill has sparked a debate about the future of US-Pakistan relations and the best approach to addressing terrorism in the region. It remains to be seen how Congress will ultimately decide on this issue.

I'm not sure about this bill to end Pakistan's special status. It seems like a big decision with potential consequences. How will this impact our relationships with other countries in the region?
