Washington: The White House’s National Security Advisor Tom Donilon rowed back Sunday on earlier plans for US President Barack Obama to visit Pakistan this year, as the diplomatic fallout from the killing of Al Qaeda intensified.
Last year, Obama committed himself to visit Pakistan in 2011, but those plans now appear to be in flux as relations become more and more strained by suspicions over who in Islamabad knew about Bin Laden’s whereabouts.
“There is not a visit on his schedule at this stage to go to Pakistan,” Donilon told NBC’s “Meet The Press” programme.
