Islamabad has furiously rejected allegations of lie and deceit by US president Donald Trump and his claims of giving billions of dollars in aid to Pakistan.
Foreign minister Khawaja Asif says Trump’s accusations are merely out of disappointment for US defeat in Afghanistan.
Asif noted that Islamabad is ready to publicly provide details of any aid received from the US. He insisted that Islamabad decisions are meant to be in line only with Pakistan’s sovereignty and national interests.
The top diplomat underlined that Islamabad will not do more for Washington.
Donald Trump threatened to cut off aid to Pakistan in his first tweet of 2018.
Trump said the US has only received lies and deceit from Pakistan in return for its monetary aid.
Pakistan has summoned the US ambassador to Islamabad to make clarification on Trump’s comments.
