Terror funding: Saudi, China, Turkey blocked US move against Pak at FATF

China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey - the three close allies of Pakistan have joined hands to block a move by the Trump administration to place Islamabad on an international terror-financing watch list, a US media report said today.

While Pakistan has claimed a victory of sorts, the US was working behind the scenes during the ongoing Paris meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) so as to take action against the country which it believes has not acted against terrorist financing and the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions.

The Wall Street Journal which first reported about the development said this was one of the "rare disagreements" between Saudi Arabia and the administration of President Donald Trump.
