Republican Party Senator Lindsey Graham said on Sunday President Donald Trump should meet Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan as soon as possible to reset long-difficult US relations with Pakistan and push for a peaceful settlement in Afghanistan, Reuters reported.
“I’ve seen things change here and all in a positive direction,” Graham, a member of the US Senate Armed Services Committee, told a news conference in Islamabad. “With Prime Minister Khan we have a unique opportunity to change our relationship.”
Graham’s trip to Pakistan coincided with a visit by Zalmay Khalilzad, the US special envoy for peace in Afghanistan.
Khalilzad left Islamabad without announcing a new date for talks with Taliban representatives.
