Controversial Indian TV host Arnab Goswami has accused United States (US) President Donald Trump of taking a 'crypto bribe' from Pakistan after Trump said that he “loves Pakistan”.

 

“Trump should be investigated along with his family, whether any of them are beneficiaries of any crypto deal with Pakistan,” Goswami said in a clip that went viral on social media.

 

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday on the White House lawn, ahead of a luncheon with Field Marshal Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Asim Munir in Washington, DC, US President Donald Trump said, "I love Pakistan”.

 

Referring to last month's military standoff between Pakistan and India, the US President lauded Field Marshal Munir's efforts towards protecting the country and de-escalation.

 

“I stopped a war between Pakistan and India. This man [Field Marshal Asim Munir] was extremely influential in stopping it from the Pakistan side,” he stated.

 

Following the meeting, Trump said that he was “honoured” to meet Field Marshal Munir for talks held at the White House’s Cabinet room.

 

Commenting on Trump’s appreciative statement about Pakistan and its leadership, Goswami said, “Trump is for Pakistan. Trump is beginning to sound like a member of the Pakistan armed forces. The number of times he says, ‘I love Pakistan’ is embarrassing himself (sic).”
