What was the US administration's statement about Khan post-verdict?

  • A national hero

  • Economy booster

  • Proliferation risk

  • Nobel candidate

Answer

Following his conviction for terrorism-related offenses, the US government labeled Pakistani politician Imran Khan as a "proliferation risk." This designation stems from concerns that Khan, while serving as Prime Minister, might have allowed nuclear weapons technology to be transferred to other nations or terrorist organizations. The US administration, therefore, views him as a threat to global security and a risk to the non-proliferation regime.
