The US State Department Spokesman Ned Price once again rejected former prime minister Imran Khan’s regime change allegations, saying the United States would not let “propaganda, disinformation” get in the way of its bilateral ties with Pakistan.
Price made these remarks during a press briefing while answering a question about former prime minister Imran Khan blaming the US for his ouster from office.
“We won’t let propaganda, we won’t let misinformation or disinformation get in the way of an important bilateral relation, including our valued bilateral partnership with Pakistan,” he reiterated.
The United States said that it would continue to counter disinformation with information.
