US ‘sooner or later’ must recognise Taliban: Pakistan PM Khan

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan says the US is in a state of ‘shock and confusion’ after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has said the United States government will “sooner or later” have to recognise the Taliban, which now rules Afghanistan.

In a televised interview with the Turkish-state affiliated TRT World, Khan said on Saturday the US is in a state of “shock and confusion” after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan on August 15.

Khan also stated that the US public is currently looking for a scapegoat and “unfairly targeting” US President Joe Biden.
