There is no CSF any longer.
If there's no CSF than all this talk of F-16s, C-130s, this and that is all for naught.
CSF can be reinstituted just to compensate Pakistan, but this will require an act of Congress and be supported by the White House. That's the first part, the second part is the actual budget allocation, which requires another vote. Given that US government's fiscal budget starts from October 1, there are no chance funds will be distributed in 2020, but 2021, at the earliest. So any military orders won't come then when funds are finally available.
Unless, of course, Pakistan pays from its own funds.
