1:46Now PlayingAs part of his first visit to Washington as prime minister, Pakistan’s Imran Khan spoke on July 23 at the U.S. Institute of Peace following talks with President Trump.
On corruption, Khan said, “Money which should go to human development ends up going into [corrupt] people's pockets" and is siphoned from the country’s economy. He said he had told President Trump that “the biggest problem that the world faces is about a trillion dollars leaving developing and poor countries and either going into offshore accounts, or they end up in Western countries. And this is impoverishing. This is causing more deaths, than terrorism, than through drugs,” leading to “people dying of hunger and disease, lack of education, not having clean drinking water.”
