Lahore (Web Desk): PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan said that Pak-US ties soured because Washington needed someone to blame for its exit from Afghanistan.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Imran Khan said the PTI-led government the had an “excellent relationship” with former President Donald Trump, but the relations took a hit after Joe Biden was elected. “It’s only when Joe Biden came along that for some reason I found that there was reluctance there,” he said.
When asked if his plan would involve sticking with the IMF, the PTI chief replied: “We have no choice now.” “If we get into power, we won’t have much time,” Imran told the interviewer.
Khan reiterated his government would pursue an independent foreign policy “that doesn’t lean on any single country such as the US or China”.
Commenting on his rivalry with different political parties in the country, Imran said the entire political status quo was against him. “Right now I’m afraid, I have powerful enemies.”
He also suspected that the next general elections could be rigged to keep him out of power.
