The US said Pakistan has failed to take decisive actions against terror groups as sought by the Trump administration and warned Islamabad that the Washington is prepared to take actions on its own to safeguard its personnel in Afghanistan. A senior administration official told reporters in Washington that US President Donald Trump had announced his South Asia Policy in August last year, criticising Pakistan for providing safe havens to terror groups carrying out attacks in Afghanistan.
He said six months after the announcement of the South Asia Policy by President Donald Trump, Pakistan has failed to take the kind of decisive actions that the US is seeking. Expressing the White House's displeasure on the alleged continued reluctance on the part of Pakistan to take action against terrorists, the official said the US want to see actions against terrorist. The official said it is good for Pakistan to cooperate with the US on Afghanistan.
The US also wants Pakistan to take action against Pakistan-based terrorist groups that target India like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
