In a recent statement from Washington, the United States has emphatically distanced itself from any association with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests that unfolded outside the White House.
The message was conveyed by US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby during a press interaction. Kirby firmly rejected the notion, implied in a journalist's question, that there might be a connection between the removal of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and the protests taking place in Washington, or any involvement of the United States in such matters.
He underscored that the ongoing situation in Pakistan is an internal matter for the Pakistani people and their government to address.
Furthermore, when questioned about the potential supply of weapons from Pakistan to Ukraine, Kirby's response was clear-cut. He redirected the inquiry, emphasizing that Pakistan should be the entity to provide information regarding its actions and involvement with Ukraine.
This response firmly places the responsibility on Pakistan to communicate its stance and actions concerning the situation in Ukraine. The United States, in this context, seems to maintain a position of non-involvement and encourages relevant parties to speak for themselves regarding their actions and decisions on the international stage.
