Afghan Taliban Given Airtime on Pakistani National TV as Trump wants to Engage with Imran on Afghanistan

Donald Trump has written a letter to Pakistan’s government asking for its help on Afghanistan.

Both the Foreign Ministry and Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry confirmed that the letter has been received. Chaudhry said the U.S. president told Khan that relations with Pakistan were “very important” to solving the Afghan conflict, especially in helping to bring the insurgents to the negotiating table.
