Us president trump accepts deceitful Pakistan in tweet

President Trump on Monday accused Pakistan of giving nothing to the US but “Lies and deceit” in return for its $33-billion aid while it Islamabad providing safe haven to terrorists. Trump said strongly in worded tweet “The US 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, “They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!”  said in his first tweet of the year. IT seems the strongest attack in decade that came from any US president while his remark came days after New York Times reported that the US is considering withholding $225-million in aid to Pakistan reflecting its dissatisfaction with the latter’s reluctance in the war against terrorism. Within a few hours, Trump’s tweet on Pakistan gained 96,000 likes and was retweeted more than 35,000 times, within a few hours of being posted.

However US had also strongly condemned release of Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed by Pakistan and had demanded his immediate re-arrest and prosecution, warning that there would be “repercussions” for bilateral ties if Islamabad fails to take “decisive action” against the JuD Chief.Saeed, who carries a $10-million American bounty on his head for terror activities, walked free after the Pakistan governmentdecided against detaining him further in any other case. In his new South Asia Policy in August, Trump had called for tougher measure against Pakistan if it fails to cooperate with the US in its fight against terrorism. “We can no longer be silent about Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban, and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond. Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan. It has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists,” Trump had earlier said in his South Asia Policy speech.Noting that in the past, Pakistan has been a valued partner, Trump had accused it of providing shelter to the same organizations that try every single day to kill Americans. “We have been paying Pakistan billions and billions of dollars at the same time they are housing the very terrorists that we are fighting. But that will have to change, and that will change immediately, “Trump had said. “No partnership can survive a country’s harboring of militants and terrorists who target US service members and officials. It is time for Pakistan to demonstrate its commitment to civilization, order, and to peace,” he had said.  A few months ago, in his National Security Strategy, Trump had warned Islamabad it must do more to deter terrorists from operating from within its homeland. Now his emphatic statement indicates he will act.

Which bought the reaction from Pakistan;Islamabad has yet to respond, but the Foreign Minister Khwaja M. As if indicated Trump was not accurate in his statement.“We will respond to Trump’s tweet shortly Insha Allah… Will let the world know the truth… Difference between facts and fiction,” Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khwaja M. Asif, said in a tweet reported by Indo Asian News Service. But now it seems that Trump was the first to threaten to cut aid to Islamabad. Now it appears Washington may be the closest it has been to cutting aid to that its ‘Major Non-NATO Ally.”Trump, in a strongly-worded tweet, US had been “foolishly” giving aid to Pakistan for 15 years, but in return, it has only received “lies and deceit”. The tweet has drawn huge criticism in Pakistan.

The army and the government criticized Trump’s statement and said the US was blaming its failures in Afghanistan on Pakistan. Later in the day, Pakistan also summoned US ambassador David Hale over Trump’s accusations and lodged its protest against the tweet.

The national daily quoted sources as saying that Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua sought explanation from the envoy in the matter. However one of the Indian party leader in the wake of United States President Donald Trump’s scathing attack on Pakistan for giving “safe haven to the terrorists”, Subramanian Swamy BJP leader on Tuesday called for further strengthening of bilateral relations with the U.S.
