Trump On Pakistan: President's Threat To Withhold Aid Elicits Varied Reactions

Pakistan angrily responded Monday after President Donald Trump accused its leaders of "lies & deceit" and suggested the United States would withdraw financial aid to the nuclear-armed nation it once saw as a key ally against terrorism. Trump started his New Year by sending an angry tweet stating it was time for change in Iran and criticizing Pakistan.

Trump tweeted: "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."
