New York/Washington, February 28 Amid escalating tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, US President Donald Trump has said he gets along very well with Pakistan and that the country is doing “tremendously well”.
“I do, but I get along very, very well with Pakistan. You have a great Prime Minister, you have a great General there. You have a great leader, two of the people that I really respect, and I think that Pakistan is doing tremendously well,” he said.
Trump was responding to a question on Pakistan waging an “open war” against Afghanistan and whether he would intervene to stop the fighting.
Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Allison Hooker said in a post on X that she spoke with Pakistani Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch on Friday to “express condolences for the lives lost in the recent conflict between Pakistan and the Taliban. We continue to closely monitor the situation and express support for Pakistan’s right to defend itself against Taliban attacks."
