Pakistan is ‘reassessing’ ties with the US, Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan has said and accused Washington of ignoring the ‘threats’ to his country from India.
Khan’s remarks came amidst tension in ties between the US and Pakistan after President Donald Trump accused the country of providing safe havens to terrorists.
Khan said yesterday that it was not possible for Pakistan to satisfy the US, Dawn reported.
“We are here to give our point of view logically and with evidence. We will explain our position. But it’s not for us to satisfy them,” he told the media.
The government, he said, was “reassessing ties with the US”, and has simultaneously undertaken a regional outreach ahead of talks with Americans on future bilateral engagement.
