The classified document makes clear in black and white the carrot-and-stick approach adopted by the US: if Imran Khan is removed from power, all would be forgiven in Washington. If not, there would be consequences — economic and otherwise — for the country's bilateral relations.

However, any allegation that the US interfered in the country's internal political processes is categorically false.
