US ambassador David Hale met Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif in Islamabad on Tuesday after Donald Trump accused Pakistan of harbouring terrorists in his new Afghanistan policy.
“Ambassador Hale briefed the foreign minister about President Trump’s latest statement on the US policy review on South Asia and Afghanistan,” the Foreign Office announced in a statement.
Announcing the deployment of thousands of more troops in Afghanistan, Trump also lambasted Pakistan for harbouring “agents of chaos, violence, and terror,” saying the US could “no longer be silent about Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organisations”.
