The United States is preparing to sell eight new F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan, a leading US newspaper reported Thursday.
The US Congress was notified about the proposed sale of the additional fighters days ago, although it was unclear if the White House plans to announce the sale of the aircraft during Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to the US, said the report published in the New York Times.
The sale of the aircraft to Pakistan is subject to approval by the US Congress, which can also block the deal, says the NYT report.
