United States distance from Pakistan with president tweet while he honoured from Afghanistan

Where from Monday onwards senior US diplomat had talks in Pakistan following an angry retort over the President Trump’s accusation of nuclear armed South Asia state had been in lies and deceit as a US ally in the war in neighboring Afghanistan. Current meet took place between Tehmina Janjua the Pakistani foreign Secretary and Alice Wells principal deputy assistant of secretary of state for South and Central Asia, A Foreign Ministry statement said Wells “acknowledged Pakistan’s efforts in eradicating terrorism” and “underlined the need for strengthening intelligence cooperation” to fight terrorism. Relations between United States and Pakistan were already tense when Trump tweeted on Jan. 1 that the United States had foolishly given Pakistan $33 billion in aid over 15 years and was rewarded with “nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools”. It is not clear what prompted Trump’s tweet, which infuriated Pakistani officials and caught the rest of the U.S. administration off guard. Pakistan denies this, and accuses the United States of ignoring its vast sacrifices – casualties have numbered in the tens of thousands – in fighting terrorism. The Trump administration also last week announced the suspension of about $2 billion in security aid to Pakistan – officially a U.S. ally – over accusations that Islamabad is playing a double game in Afghanistan.

However whatever promoted President to Tweet such statement but he unlikely become the recipient of ‘Medal of Bravery’, which has been bestowed on him by 300 Afghans for his tough stance on Pakistan reported Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty (RFE\RL) “This Bravery Medal is from the Afghan people to Donald Trump, president of the United States of America,” says the inscription on the medal, made with funds collected by Afghans from the Logar province, which is 60 kilometers south of Kabul. The community leader Farhad Akbari, a community leader, told RFE/RL that members of the community have “waited 16 years” for someone in the US administration to make comments of the sort that Trump has made in recent weeks concerning Pakistan.

Trump, in his first tweet of 2018, on January 1, roundly berated Pakistan for giving the US “lies and deceit” in return for the $33 billion it has received in aid over the last 15 years. Days after his tweet, the US announced it was suspending some $2 billion in assistance to Pakistan until it did more to fight terrorism and stopped providing safe haven to the Taliban and other terrorists. The Afghan people, of course, have been at the receiving end of this terror, which is why many of them appreciated Trump’s verbal blasting of Pakistan. The government in Kabul has long accused Pakistan of backing and sheltering militants who carry out attacks on their soil. Logar’s Akbari said he himself has been fighting Taliban extremists in the southeastern part of the province for years.

Akbari added that the decision to award Trump a ‘Medal of Bravery’ was made at an informal ‘jirga’, or council of residents. The medal, he said, is made of 15 grams of gold, crafted by hand, and cost 45,000 Afghanis, or $645, no small amount in this war-torn country. All the money came from residents in Logar.The medal was handed over to the US Embassy in Kabul on Saturday. Akbari said the US Ambassador John R. Bass has promised he will soon hand over the medal to Trump.

Anyway US President first tweet of 2018 become momentum tweet which was “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools” news as per times.
