Pakistan's Opposition leader Imran Khan today said an "ignorant and ungrateful" US President Donald Trump has humiliated the country by accusing Islamabad of giving nothing to America but lies and deceit in return for its aid worth USD 33 billion over the last 15 years.


In a series of tweets, the cricketer-turned-politician said Pakistan was being "blamed" for the US' failures in the so-called "War on Terror" in Afghanistan. In his strongest attack against Pakistan yet, Trump in his first tweet of the year on New Year's day had accused Pakistan of giving nothing to the US but "lies and deceit" and providing "safe haven" to terrorists in return for USD 33 billion aid over the last 15 years, thinking of American leaders as "fools".


A day later, the White House said that an already-delayed USD 255 million military aid to Pakistan had been blocked, the fate of which will depend on Islamabad's response to terrorism on its soil. "And now Pakistan (is) being blamed for US failures in Afghanistan by an ignorant and ungrateful Donald Trump," Khan tweeted. -- PTI
