Take ‘decisive action’ against terror groups operating on your territory: US to Pak
 [DECCANCHRONICLE] US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... has asked Pakistain to take "decisive action" against terror groups operating on its soil, as he unveiled America's new National Security Strategy. The US will also encourage Pakistain to continue demonstrating that it is a responsible steward of its nuclear assets, the National Security Strategy (NSS) said. Mandated by the Congress, Trump on Monday released his first NSS, according to which the US has asked Pakistain to intensify its counterterrorism efforts. "We have made clear to Pakistain that while we desire continued partnership, we must see decisive action against terrorist groups operating on their territory. And we make massive payments every year to Pakistain. They have to help," Trump said in his remarks as he announced the NSS. Pakistain has received more than USD 33 billion from US since the 9/11 terror attacks. "We will press Pakistain to intensify its counterterrorism efforts, since no partnership can survive a country's support for The NSS links its efforts to build trade and investment ties with Pakistain with improvement in security. The Trump administration has been talking tough with Pakistain after it came to power, but has stopped short of taking any action against it even though the Pak leadership have shown reluctance in taking decisive actions against terrorist groups.
