‘Confident Pakistan can secure nukes,’ says State Department in response to Biden’s ‘dangerous’ remark

Days after US President Joe Biden made his “one of the most dangerous nations” remark about Pakistan, the US Department of State issued a statement that appeared to contradict the commander-in-remark. chief’s

The US has always viewed a “secure and prosperous” Pakistan as critical to its interests, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel was quoted as saying at a briefing by news agency PTI. “(The US) is confident in Pakistan’s commitment and ability to secure its nuclear assets,” he said during a press conference.

This comes after Biden’s remarks sparked a backlash from the country’s government in a variety of ways. The ruling government was first prompted to summon the US envoy. Then Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued a strong statement, calling Trump’s remarks “factually incorrect and misleading.”

“Let me reiterate unequivocally: Pakistan is a responsible nuclear state, and we are proud that our nuclear assets are safeguarded to the highest standards as per IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) requirements,” Sharif said in a tweet. “We take these safety precautions very seriously.” “No one should have any doubts,” he added.

Last week, Biden was discussing Russia, China, and other global issues when he said, “….and what I believe to be one of the most dangerous nations in the world: Pakistan.” Nuclear weapons with no cohesiveness.”

“So, folks, a lot is going on. A lot going on,” he added, “but there are also enormous opportunities for the United States to change the dynamic in the second quarter of the twenty-first century.”
