It is reported that the special representative of Washington in Pakistan and Afghanistan Alice Wells planned to arrive in Islamabad on August 28 for meetings with Pakistani officials. Reasons why the visit of the delegation was canceled, not declared, but it is, as suggested, due to the demand of the President of Donald trump to the leadership of Pakistan to stop providing sanctuary to the Afghan Taliban.
