Islamabad, Nov 7 : Foreign policy experts in Pakistan believe that the victory of Donald Trump in the US Presidential election is unlikely to trigger any change in the tough stance adopted by Washington towards Islamabad over the past many years.

Analysts maintain that the US policy towards Pakistan was never based on good personal terms and would not be any different under the incoming Trump administration.

Interestingly, Trump's triumph has been linked to the potential release of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is incarcerated in Rawalpindi jail over multiple cases of corruption and sedition.

On Wednesday, as Trump announced his win in faraway West Palm Beach, celebrations broke out in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) camp with several leaders highlighting Trump's "good personal relations" with party founder Imran Khan.

They insist that the new US President would use his office to influence the Shehbaz Sharif government and force Pakistan to release Khan from jail.

"A myth has been created that Trump had very close personal ties with Imran Khan. This is not true. The fact is that Pakistan did not have good terms with the US when Trump was the president. He wanted to get out of Afghanistan for which he sought help from then Pakistan PM Imran Khan in order to talk to the Taliban," Touqir Hussain, a former ambassador, wrote in Dawn on Thursday.
