WASHINGTON: Describing the US' relationship with Pakistan as extraordinarily complicated , the outgoing Obama administration has hoped that President-elect Donald Trump would deepen counter-terrorism cooperation with the country to make America a safer place. "Obviously, the United States has an extraordinarily complicated relationship, particularly when it comes to national security with Pakistan," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said yesterday. "They're also working closely with thousands of troops from our NATO partners who are also there doing the same thing," he said. "And I know there has been a question raised about how important a role NATO has played when it comes to counter-terrorism. "...but there's still important work to be done in this region of the world and this is a responsibility that the incoming President will assume," he said.
