BREAKING - After China, Russia defends Pakistan against Trump’s criticism.China protected it all Pakistan on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States could no lengthier be soundless about Pakistan’s “safe havens” for fighters and cautioned it had much to drop by continuing to “harbour terrorists”. Trump claimed that others - the Afghan government, Pakistan, India and NATO allies - step up their own promise to deciding the 16-year battle, but he saved his high-pitched words for Pakistan.Senior U.S. officials warned security assistance for Pakistan could be reduced unless the nuclear-armed nation collaborated more in stopping militants from using safe havens on its soil.Critics say Pakistan sees militants such as the Taliban as useful tools to limit the influence of old opposing India. Pakistan rejects permitting militants refuge on its territory, saying it takes action against all groups.Asked about Trump’s speech, Chinese Foreign Ministry presenter Hua Chunying said Pakistan was on the front line in the fight against terrorism and had made “great losses” and “important aids” in the fight.
