 Islamabad-With Prime Minister Imran Khan lashing out at United States (US) President Donald Trump and stating that his “baseless rhetoric” will no longer be acceptable to the country, the former’s statements have been very well received by people – especially Pakistanis – on social as well as mainstream media.

Amid all the praise that PM Khan’s tweets have attracted, here’s how his response to Trump’s tirade against Pakistan has been covered by foreign media

 Prime Minister Imran Khan has said US President Donald Trump needs to inform himself about historical facts after Trump alleged that Islamabad did not adequately support the Washington-led "war on terror".

KABUL: The top US general in Afghanistan told NATO troops on Tuesday to prepare themselves to deal with “positive processes or negative consequences” as peace talks between the US and the Taliban to end a 17-year war gain momentum. General Scott Miller, who commands US forces and the NATO-led non-combat Resolution Support (RS) mission in Afghanistan reiterated the need for a political settlement to end the conflict. “Peace talks (are) out there, regional players pressing for peace, the Taliban talking about peace, the Afghan government is talking about peace,” Miller told dozens of NATO soldiers who had gathered at RS headquarters in Kabul for an exercise session.

So-called Islamic State began to appear in what it calls Khorasan (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, Iran, and India) in 2014. Reports of its presence were at first dismissed as propaganda, but during 2015 it became clear that IS had a serious presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan at least. In June 2014, when the Islamic State (IS) declared itself to be a caliphate, with Abu Bakr al Baghdadi as its leader, there was barely presence of the extremist group outside its immediate area of influence in Syria and Iraq.
