Zardari calls on Trump to learn from Obama’s mistake

Author: Online

WASHINGTON: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday urged new US President Donald Trump to grasp the opportunity to handle terrorism in ways that former president Obama could not.

“Donald Trump should capitalise on opportunity to deal with terrorism what Barack Obama had lost. He should appoint a senior delegate for South Asia forthwith,” Zardari said in an interview with American media.

He advised the new leader to send a delegate like Richard Holbrook to the region, pointing out that Barack Obama had not kept in appropriate contact with any Pakistani chief executive during his tenure.

“The war of minds has been defeated in Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, and Libya and in Syria,” Zardari claimed.

The former Pakistani president advised Trump’s opponents to not write him off, saying that he should be given a chance to leave his effects on the region.

“It was (sic) premature to say anything about Trump at present,” he added.

He said, “let us wait for a span of 90 days of Trump presidency and then we will see if Donald Trump just talks or he does something practically.”

He underlined that Trump had gained victory in those democratic states where any possibility of defeat for Democratic Party had previously been ruled out.
