Identifying Pakistan as a refuge to terrorism the President said, “Pakistan often gives safe havens to agents of chaos, violence and terror.” Trump went on to add that more than 20 US designated terror organisation are active in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the highest concentration in any region anywhere in the world.
Talking about the simmering tension between India and Pakistan, Trump said, “The threat is worse because Pakistan and India are two nuclear-armed states whose tense relations threaten to spiral into conflict.” Trump addressing Army troops at Fort Myer, unveiled his approach towards Afghanistan by vowing to continue the fight to avoid any “predictable and unacceptable” results of a rapid and sudden withdrawal of troops from the country.
