A United States (US) Pentagon official said that the Trump administration wants to give Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s government a chance to improve Pakistan-India relations.
US Department of Defence (DOD) Asian and Pacific Security Affairs Assistant Defence Secretary Randall Schriver said, “We want to give him [PM Khan] space to find the opportunities to improve things with India.”
“The cut in the financial assistance provided to Pakistan is also expected to continue,” he added.
He emphasised, “What I said about giving him space was really in the context of the India-Pakistan relationship.”
“We would certainly like to give him space to make the right decisions on a variety of things,” he remarked.
