The Democrats' victory in the US congressional elections has left Pakistani leaders facing new concerns about the future of Islamabad's close relationship with US President Donald Trump. Pakistan, which has been trying to win Trump's support for the past two years, is now preparing to be under scrutiny and investigation by Congress about its agreements and relations with the White House and the president's associates. On the other hand, many Pakistani citizens hope that the change in the balance of power in Washington will help reduce tensions and improve the economic situation of their country. Pakistan is dependent on energy imports and the rise in oil prices following the US-Israeli war with Iran has increased the pressure on people's living costs. Several Pakistani residents interviewed by Reuters after the election expressed hope that the change in American policy would soon affect their daily lives. Sajjad Ali, a resident of Karachi, said: "We believe that meaningful negotiations with the current US administration are not possible and that the ongoing bloodshed will not end until there is a change in the US government.
