Reacting to the sanctions imposed by the United States (US), Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has outrightly ruled out the prospects of any compromise on the country’s nuclear programme.
“There is no justification for the sanctions imposed on us [….] There will be no compromise on Pakistan’s nuclear programme,” said the PM while speaking at a federal cabinet meeting on Tuesday in Islamabad.
The premier’s remarks come as President Joe Biden’s administration, last week, announced imposing additional sanctions related to Pakistan’s ballistic missile programme, targeting four entities that it said were contributing to the proliferation or delivery of such weapons.
