Washington DC: A day after a US media report claimed that a former undersecretary had slammed Pakistan for misusing the F-16 fighter jets that it had provided, the US State Department has now said that it does not disclose details of bilateral agreements that involve defence technologies.

“We do not publicly comment on the contents of bilateral agreements involving the United States defence technologies nor the communications we have about them,” State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus told news agency ANI on Thursday.
