US Republican presidential front- runner Donald Trump has said that a nuclear-armed Pakistan is a “very very vital problem”, and asserted that the country needs to “get a hold of” its situation.
In an interview to CNN during a town hall convention in Wisconsin, where the Republican presidential primary is scheduled for the 5th of next month, Trump said he is against spread of nuclear weapons and nuclear proliferation.
Referring to the terrorist attack in Lahore on Easter Sunday that claimed 74 lives and injured over 300 others, he said it’s just absolutely a horrible story,” adding that he is talking about radical Islamic terrorism.
Meanwhile Trump tried on Tuesday to focus on Wisconsin, where he was making his first visit ahead of its key primary as controversy cast yet another shadow over his campaign.
Mr. Trump, along with Republican rivals Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich, converged on Wisconsin one week before its April 5 primary. Both Democratic candidates, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, also campaigned in the state.
Mr. Trump told supporters at a rally that “if we win Wisconsin, it’s pretty much over,” noting his significant delegate lead over both Cruz and Kasich. Mr. Trump held the rally in Janesville, Wisconsin, hometown of House Speaker Paul Ryan who last week called for more civility in politics even as the Republican presidential race grew more personal and nasty.
