There is an “undeniable complicity” of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) with terrorist groups, former US National Security Advisor Lt Gen (retd) HR McMaster has said, revealing that during his tenure under then-President Donald Trump, the White House faced resistance from the state department and Pentagon over providing security aid to Islamabad.
Despite directions from Trump to stop all aid to Pakistan till it stops giving safe havens to terrorists, McMaster in his latest book—At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House—says that the then Defence Secretary Jim Mattis was planning to deliver a military aid package to Islamabad that included over $150 million worth of armoured vehicles. However, the aid was stopped after his intervention, McMaster writes in the book that hit the bookstores this week.
