US President Donald Trump says Washington can no longer remain silent towards Pakistan’s “safe havens for terrorists.”
The president was referencing the Taliban and other groups posing a threat to the region and beyond during a prime time address to the nation on Monday, in which he elaborated on a new US strategy towards Afghanistan.
“We can no longer be silent about Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organizations,” Trump declared, while outlining the new US security strategy in South Asia from Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia. “Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan. It has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists.”
