He told reporters in Brussels that US’ wants to make certain that no terrorist organisation finds a safe haven anywhere.
As such the United States is engaging with the Pakistanis, he added.
Referring to the discussions he had with other NATO member countries, Mattis said, it was remarkable alignment about us all working together to get Pakistan to do everything it can to cut the insurgents off, the terrorists off.
