Slamming Pakistan for helping Osama Bin Laden hide in Abbottaabd, US President Donald Trump said he did the right thing by cutting down on the millions of dollars that used to flow into Pakistan in the name of military aid. He added that the country ‘doesn’t do a damn thing’ for the United States in return.
In an interview to Fox News, he was quoted as saying, “You know, living – think of this – living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion, I don't know, I've seen nicer. But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there.”
For sheltering terrorists, he said the country will be losing much. The changes in the foreign policy, especially with respect to Pakistan, came after he announced his South Asia Policy in August 2017. USD 300 million in military aid was cut off to Pakistan.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
