In an interview with the Financial Times, the PTI chief said that he wanted to mend relations with the US despite accusing it of treating Pakistan as a “slave” and claiming that it had conspired to remove him as prime minister a few months ago.

He further said that he no longer “blamed” the US and would desire dignified ties if re-elected.
