US to deny military aid worth $255 million
 [HINDUSTANTIMES] The Trump administration on Friday announced the United States will deny Pakistain military aid amounting to $255 million as it expects Islamabad to take decisive action "against gunnies and turbans on its soil"."The United States does not plan to spend the $255 million in FY 2016 in Foreign Military Financing for Pakistain at this time," said a spokesperson of the President’s National Security Council in a statement to Hindustan Times.
"The Administration continues to review Pakistain’s level of cooperation." The statement reflected and sealed the administration’s complete disillusionment with Pakistain, which had sought to brazenly disregard the explicit warnings issued by 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... personally and leading members of his cabinet, such as secretaries James Mattis and Rex Tillerson. "This could be the severest blow dealt to Islamabad by this administration if it indeed decided to withhold it," said a leading US expert on Pakistain, who did not want to be identified. "There is more coming," the expert added. The amount, $255 million, is left over from $1.1 billion aid earmarked for Pakistain in 2016, and which included non-military aid as well. It was cleared for handing over in August, just days before it would lapsed as unspent money. Posted by: Fred 2017-12-31 |
