‘Most welcome’: Pakistan’s Khawaja Asif backs Trump’s mediation in Taliban conflict

Pakistan’s defence minister Khawaja Asif has urged former US President Donald Trump to mediate in easing tensions with Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Asif praised Trump’s past peace efforts, calling him a leader who stopped wars and welcomed his potential involvement in current negotiations. The minister also bizarrely accused India of sponsoring the Taliban and waging a proxy war against Pakistan.
