Talking to the journalists, Fatemi said, the Trump administration will provide Pakistan a “fresh opportunity to burnish its credentials” with Washington, despite the president-elect’s sharp comments on Islamic extremism on the campaign trail.
The stance being taken by Trump and his national security adviser nominee, former Gen. Mike Flynn, on the need to confront “radical Islamic terrorism” will not interfere with the “confluence of interests” and mutual goals of the United States and Pakistan, he added.
