The overturning of the convictions for Daniel Pearl’s murder is an affront to victims of terrorism everywhere. We welcome Pakistan’s decision to appeal the verdict. Those responsible for Daniel's heinous kidnapping and murder must face the full measure of justice. AGW

Refusing entry to the coordinator of a press freedom program w/ a valid visa increases concerns about restrictions on journalists in Pak. A free & independent media is indispensable to any democracy, and we urge Pakistan to reconsider this decision. AGW

It was an honor to meet with U.S. companies based in Pakistan and discuss ways the U.S. government can support improving prospects for their success. Protecting their interests and removing tariff and non-tariff barriers is a priority for the @realDonaldTrump Administration.
