US President Donald Trump on Sunday lambasted Islamabad by saying that,the country ‘doesn’t do a damn thing for us’ as well as claiming that Pakistan helped shelter the then al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
Trump also defended his administration’s decision to pull hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Islamabad in interview to Fox News.
“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,” Trump said, referring to bin Laden and his former compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The compound was destroyed shortly after the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group forces, in a helicopter raid, killed bin Laden in 2011.
“But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there,” he added. “And we give Pakistan $1.3 billion a year . … [bin Laden] lived in Pakistan, we’re supporting Pakistan, we’re giving them $1.3 billion a year –which we don’t give them anymore, by the way, I ended it because they don’t do anything for us, they don’t do a damn thing for us.”
The United States has canceled $300 million in aid to Pakistan for its lack of decisive action against militant groups.
The cancellation of aid is part of President Trump’s New Year tweet in which he launched a scathing criticism against Pakistan for betraying the US.
“The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!,” Trump tweeted on January 1.

The only good response by Pakistani side which ever came to this old bloody allegation of hiding bin Laden was by Musharraf....
I think Obama himself acknowledged that it was Pakistan who helped US in tracing Bin Laden
You know what Mr Trump, there was not Osama in there. You know that very well that Osama was dead way before this raid, in some Tora bora bombing. We took that blame on our heads just to save your national pride and to pay back the our duty in war on terror. You also know that we handed over dozens of active Al Qaida huys to you.
Now this is all people get in last from USA. You cant kill Talibs in Afghanistan and now you are demanding us those thing.
I think the best answer to you guys is "talk to the hand".
