Asserting that Pakistan must target all militant groups, including those that target its neighbours, the US has said it is not planning any sanctions against the country for not taking actions against terrorist groups.
“Suggestive of any kind of sanctions, we’re not there,” the State Department Deputy Spokesman Mark Toner told reporters at his daily news conference.
He was responding to a query on a recent statement by the former US Ambassador to the UN, Zalmay Khalilzad that the US now needs to seriously consider the option of imposing sanctions against Pakistan.
