Pompeo in Pakistan for 'reset' talks with PM Khan
5 September 2018
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has arrived in Pakistan for talks with new Prime Minister Imran Khan aimed at resetting ties.
Relations have been strained over US allegations Pakistan is providing a safe haven for Afghan Taliban militants, which Pakistan denies.
So far this year the Trump administration has suspended more than $1bn (£775m) in security assistance.
After his one-day visit to Islamabad, Mr Pompeo will fly to India.
Pakistani officials say much of the money withheld by the US was meant as a reimbursement for actions they have already taken in fighting militants.
