Pence visits Afghanistan, reiterates US stance on terror safe havens in Pakistan
2017-12-23
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The US Vice President Mike Pence arrived to Afghanistan in an unannounced visit to meet with the Afghan officials and US military based in the country.

In his speech to the US military in Bagram airfield, Vice President Pence reiterated Washington’s stance regarding the terror safe havens in Pakistain.

He said "For too long Pakistain has provided safe haven to the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
and many terrorist organizations, but those days are over. President Trump has put Pakistain on notice."

"As the President said, so I say now: Pakistain has much to gain from partnering with the United States, and Pakistain has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists," he added.

This comes as the US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
had earlier expressed concerns regarding the terror safe havens posing threats to Afghanistan and the United States.

President Trump in his new national security strategy has stated that the United States continues to face threats from transnational snuffies and holy warriors operating from within Pakistain.
