| 2018-03-19 |
| [DAWN] Hours after the meeting between Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and US Vice President Mike Pence on Friday, the United States reminded Pakistain that it was prepared to take necessary steps to protect its personnel in Afghanistan if Islamabad did not stop cross-border attacks. The warning, given at a special news briefing on Friday afternoon, followed the unscheduled Abbasi-Pence meeting at the US Naval Observatory, the vice president’s official residence. Sources briefed on this one-on-one meeting told news hounds that Mr Pence also focused on this issue [Afghan policy] in the 30 minutes that he spent with the Pak leader. At 3pm ‐ almost four and a half hours after the meeting ‐ senior Trump administration officials held a special briefing for Washington-based journalists to convey their dissatisfaction with Pakistain’s Afghan policy. |
