Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif faced backlash for congratulating Donald Trump on X, a platform banned in Pakistan. Sharif reportedly used VPN to access X, violating Pakistan’s laws after the platform was restricted earlier this year due to national security concerns, especially regarding activity by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). Social media users criticized Sharif's actions, with one saying, "If hypocrisy had a face, it would be Shehbaz Sharif." Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Foreign Office reaffirmed ties with the U.S., calling them “old friends and partners,” while stressing Pakistan’s “strategic” relationship with China.
