ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan is going on an official visit to the US where he's will be meeting the US President Donald Trump along with country's senior leadership. The visit consists of 5 days from 20th July to 24th July.
It will be the first meeting of PM Imran Khan with Donald Trump after being elected as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. PM Imran Khan will discuss the matters of mutual cooperation & support, Afghan Peace Process. Economic and current happenings.
During recent years, the Pak-US relations have got extremely tense due to the bad situation of Afghanistan. The U.S. authorities blame Pakistan for the current situation of Afghanistan where according to the BBC survey, Taliban holds 70 Percent of Afghan's land.
But if we look at statistics, Pakistan is doing its best to curb Terrorism from its soil. The Pakistani military has launched many major Military Operations against Taliban/Militants since 2009. Nowadays, 95 Percent of Terrorism has been reduced in Pakistan as a result of these military ops but still, the U.S. says Pakistan needs to do more.
Donald Trump's Tweet about Pakistan
....We no longer pay Pakistan the $Billions because they would take our money and do nothing for us, Bin Laden being a prime example, Afghanistan being another. They were just one of many countries that take from the United States without giving anything in return. That’s ENDING!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 19, 2018
PM Imran Khan response to President Trump
Record needs to be put straight on Mr Trump's tirade against Pakistan: 1. No Pakistani was involved in 9/11 but Pak decided to participate in US War on Terror. 2. Pakistan suffered 75,000 casualties in this war & over $123 bn was lost to economy. US "aid" was a miniscule $20 bn.— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) November 19, 2018
3. Our tribal areas were devastated & millions of ppl uprooted from their homes. The war drastically impacted lives of ordinary Pakistanis. 4. Pak continues to provide free lines of ground & air communications(GLOCs/ALOCs).Can Mr Trump name another ally that gave such sacrifices?— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) November 19, 2018
Instead of making Pakistan a scapegoat for their failures, the US should do a serious assessment of why, despite 140000 NATO troops plus 250,000 Afghan troops & reportedly $1 trillion spent on war in Afghanistan, the Taliban today are stronger than before.— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) November 19, 2018
Trump’s false assertions add insult to the injury Pak has suffered in US WoT in terms of lives lost & destabilised & economic costs. He needs to be informed abt historical facts. Pak has suffered enough fighting US's war. Now we will do what is best for our people & our interests— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) November 19, 2018
