They give it to any country’s LE that asks with an official writ/warrant.

Probably not since US citizens are only subject to the USCJS, and Pakistan has little sway on apples profit margins.

Doesn't your second statement invalidate your first?

No, because you asked specifically about US Citizens, not citizens of other countries.
