India, April 19 -- A US-based think tank has cautioned President Donald Trump against placing trust in Pakistan, invoking its past role in Afghanistan and raising concerns about the country's military leadership.

"Trump should not trust the Pakistanis. Pakistan was a perfidious 'ally' in Afghanistan, backing the Taliban while pretending to be our friends," US-based think-tank, Foundation for Defense of Democracies' Bill Roggio told Fox News.

Field Marshal Asim Munir's "ties to the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) should be a massive red flag for the Trump administration," he added.
