Pakistan’s Parliament Passes Resolution Condemning Trump’s Remarks
“The National Assembly regards President [Donald] Trump’s and General [John] Nicholson’s [the top US military commander in Afghanistan] statements on Pakistan as hostile and threatening,” said the resolution, passed in the capital, Islamabad.
Khawaja Asif, Pakistani Foreign Minister also denounced the US policy to give a formal role to India in Afghanistan.
It also rejected Trump’s claim of giving Pakistan billions of dollars in aid and complete disregard to appreciate the sacrifices given by Pakistan.
On August 21, in a speech announcing the US strategy in Afghanistan and South Asia under the new administration, Trump singled Pakistan out for particular criticism.
“We can no longer be silent about Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban, and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond,” said the US president at the time.
