US President Donald Trump has accused Pakistan of “lies and deceit,” saying the US was “foolish” to have given the country more than $33bn in aid.
The American President launched the scathing attack in his first tweet of 2018, claiming Pakistan “give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt” and think “of our leaders as fools”.
It follows reports the US is considering denying Islamabad $255 million in aid in a show of discontent with its efforts to fight terrorism.
The President made no further comment on the issue and it was not immediately clear if his tweet signaled a decision to cut off aid to Islamabad.
Relations between the US and Pakistan have soured since Mr Trump entered the White House.
