Islamabad, Dec 13 (ANI): Pakistan is reportedly considering imposing millions of dollars of annual taxes on NATO trucks and fuel tankers.
The charges might include taxes on fuel in addition to port and storage fees, the BBC quoted officials, as saying.
The supply route is a lifeline for NATO troops, but Pakistan closed it last month after 24 of its soldiers were killed in a NATO air strike.
Talking about the deadly NATO attack, Gilani said Pakistan and the US needed to trust each other more.
"Yes there is a credibility gap, we are working together and still we don't trust each other. think we have to improve our relationship so that... we should have more confidence in each other," he added.
Relations between the two countries have been deteriorating over the past two years as the US has ramped up the drone program while accusing Pakistan of supporting the Taliban and other terror groups.
The Raymond Davis affair and the US raid that killed former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan earlier this year further outraged the Pakistanis. The relation finally led to a critical turn after the November 26 NATO air strike that killed 24 Pakistani troops in the Mohmand agency. (ANI)
