The United States and Pakistan have a very complex equation of bilateral relations. After the tweet of US President Donald Trump, criticizing South Asia, the two officials in the United Nations engaged in the debate have debated. The top politicians of Pakistan are facing criticism of Trump.
US ambassador to the United Nations Nick Holly criticized Pakistan's 'double-dealing behavior'. In response, Pakistan's ambassador Maliya Lodhi said Pakistan can reconsider its cooperation with the United States.
For several months, there has been deterioration in the US-Pakistan relationship. Prior to the trump, US Vice President Mike Pence and Defense Secretary James Mattis also accused the terrorists of sheltering Pakistan.
Since 2001, after the US invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan, one of the ally of the country's "anti-terrorism war", is Pakistan. But for a few months, US officials have accused the terrorists of safe havens against Pakistan. In a twitter message on Monday, Trump said the United States has been "fooled" in the last 15 years with the help of $ 3 billion, In return, they did not give anything except "false and deceitful".
In response to this, Pakistan summoned the US envoy to explain the comments of the trump
Such remarks made by the country's two neighbors, India and Afghanistan, are very excited about Pakistan. But Pakistan is going to have another neighbor China According to them, the record says that Pakistan is taking steps against terrorism.
Nike Halley said Tuesday, "Pakistan is supporting us on one side, but is providing shelter to terrorists who attack our troops in Afghanistan." He said that the United States will soon announce a new action plan to put pressure on Pakistan. And White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said at the press conference, "If Islamabad wants to get US funding continuously, it will have more role to play." He said, "Pakistan has been able to play a greater role in countering terrorism. We also want Pakistan's role. "
Pakistan's media chief Dawn said Pakistan's ambassador Maliha Lodhi condemned the attacks on US officials. In a statement issued in the media on Wednesday, he said Pakistan has contributed and sacrificed its majority in the fight against international terrorism. He said that Pakistan's role in fighting terrorism depends not on the US aid, but on national interest and policy of Pakistan.
If Pakistan's role is not properly evaluated, then Pakistan can reconsider its cooperation with the United States, Lodhi said.
At a press conference in Islamabad, the head of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that the government has taken a number of steps to stop US aid to stop the aid. Nawaz said that he would advise the current Prime Minister Shahid Khakan, to prepare an action plan so that the US money will not be needed anymore.
And after a meeting of the National Security Council led by the Prime Minister on Tuesday, a statement from his office said that the comments of the US president to stop the aid were "absolutely unthinkable" to them. Because his remarks contradict reality. Pakistan claims, Pakistan has lost more than 62,000 lives in counter-terrorism since 2003. The cost is 12 billion and 300 million dollars.
And Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif tweeted that if there is any doubt about the money assistance given to Pakistan, then he can hire an audit institution in the United States. They will look at where the expenditure is 3 billion and 30 billion dollars.
