The We For News reported, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said that his life is in danger as the threat of the no-confidence motion to oust him from office looms.

Geo News reported, the Pakistan Premier says that he has been aware of the conspiracy to assassinate him since August 2021.

The country’s security agencies had earlier revealed that they have discovered a plot against the Prime Minister, he said, adding that attempts to assassinate him were being planned.

Dawn reported, Pakistan Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said on Friday that a plot to assassinate Imran Khan had been reported by security agencies.

He said: “After these reports, the Prime Minister’s security has been beefed up as per the government’s decision."

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Vawda had earlier claimed that there is a conspiracy to assassinate the Prime Minister over his refusal to “sell the country”, in addition to the “foreign conspiracy” of which Imran Khan claimed he had proof.

Vawda told a TV channel: “There is a serious threat to Imran Khan sahab’s life. I don’t know whether you read that part (in the letter) about the consequences. That is life-threatening.”

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
