Tribune Take: Washington sees reopening of NATO supply routes inevitable
Huma Imtiaz, The Express Tribune‘s correspondent based in Washington DC discusses United States military’s Central Command (Centcom) General James N Mattis' scheduled trip to Pakistan, where he is expected to meet Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. She says the most significant sign of changing relations is that this time the Americans are choosing to send a military officer rather than employing the regular diplomatic channels.
Imtiaz says the perception in DC is that NATO supply routes cannot be blocked forever, they are expecting a monetary agreement of heavier taxes levied on the trucks to be the solution for now.
