The US has designated The Resistance Front (TRF), widely described as an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, as a “foreign terrorist organisation” for its role in the April Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir that killed 26 civilians.
On Thursday, US secretary of state Marco Rubio said that TRF was behind the Pahalgam attack and other assaults on Indian security forces. He highlighted the new sanctions as proof of US president Donald Trump’s tough foreign policy stance.
