Pakistan postponed a visit by a U.S. acting Assistant Secretary of State, officials said, as small protests broke out against President Donald Trump's accusations that Islamabad was prolonging the war in Afghanistan.The visit of Alice Wells, acting assistant Secretary of State for South and Asian Affairs, scheduled for Monday, would have been the first high-profile visit by a U.S. official since Trump's Afghan policy speech on Aug. 21.
"At the request of the Government of Pakistan, Acting Assistant Secretary Wells' trip has been postponed until a mutually convenient time," a U.S. Embassy spokesperson told Reuters in Islamabad on Sunday.
Pakistan's foreign ministry released a statement with similar wording.
Neither side gave a reason for the postponement, but U.S. officials working in Pakistan have been on high-alert since Monday's speech.

If they cut off our logistics pipeline to Afghanistan we will have to come home.
If Dump keeps pushing them they just might do it, if he goes that far he might be doing it on purpose to leave while pretending he tried to stay, if he backs off then he is not.
