Earlier, Trump Donald Trump on Sunday unleashed yet another diatribe against Pakistan while accusing Islamabad of ‘doing nothing for US’.

Trump also defended his administration s decision to stop hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Pakistan, saying the country does not do "a damn thing" for the US and its government had helped Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden hide near its garrison city.

"And we give Pakistan USD 1.3 billion a year. ... (Laden] lived in Pakistan, we re supporting Pakistan, we re giving them USD 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," he said. 

Ever since Trump’s ‘unexpected’ rise to power, the relations between Islamabad and Washington have dipped to new low as United States continues to put blame of its failures in war-torn Afghanistan on Pakistan.

In 2018 only, the deaths of Afghanistan security forces have mounted to a new high as Taliban insurgency continue to grow stronger.
