Trump for any steps if Pak doesn`t mend |
President Donald Trump is prepared to take “whatever steps necessary” against Pakistan if it does not “change its behaviour” and continues to support terror groups, Defence Secretary Jim Mattis has said. Mattis also warned Pakistan of global “diplomatic isolation” and losing its non-NATO ally status if it failed to take action against safe havens to terrorists on its soil. If our best efforts fail, President Trump is prepared to take whatever steps necessary, Mattis told members of the powerful House Armed Services Committee during a Congressional testimony on South Asia and Afghanistan. Mattis told lawmakers that while the US is adopting “a whole of government approach” on Pakistan, it is also aligning NATO countries on this. What you`re going to see is 39 nations all in the NATO campaign working together to lay out what it is we need Pakistan to do, he said.
