The US "has not seen a significant change" in Pakistan's selective support to terror groups operating from its soil to threaten regional stability in Kashmir, or against American interests and Afghanistan, a top Trump administration official said on Friday.
His remarks came amid US officials praising Pakistan for its help in securing the release of a US-Canadian couple abducted by the Haqqani terror network in Afghanistan.
Caitlan Coleman, an American citizen, and her husband Joshua Boyle, a Canadian citizen, were kidnapped in 2012 in Afghanistan while on a backpacking trip.
Coleman, 31, was pregnant at the time of abduction. All of the couple's three children were born in captivity.
"We have not seen a significant change in their (Pakistan's) selective support of terrorist organisations that operate against our national security interests and operate against Afghanistan, or operate in a way that threatens regional stability in Kashmir with India," the official told.
"So, we need to suspend judgement and wait to see if there is a change in behaviour," he said, requesting anonymity.
Many US officials have said that the release of the American-Canadian family was reflective of the changes in Pakistan's approach.
"It is way too early to make any judgement on Pakistan if there has been any change. In what we have communicated to Pakistani leaders is that we will keep our expectations low," the official said, reiterating that the US has not seen any significant change in Pakistan's support to terrorist groups.
