President Trump blasted Pakistan in his first tweet of 2018, saying its leaders have given the U.S. “nothing by lies & deceit.”
“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,” he said Monday morning.
“They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!” he added.
The New York Times reported late last week that the Trump administration might withhold $225 million in aid over frustration with Pakistan's handling of terror networks.
Administration officials told the newspaper that a final decision is expected in the next few weeks.
U.S. officials have long accused Pakistan of being slow to stamp out terrorist groups within its borders.
In August, Trump unveiled a new U.S. strategy for the war in Afghanistan aimed at defeating the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani Network, an affiliated group that operates in Pakistan.
Trump said then that Pakistan "gives safe haven to agents of chaos, violence and terror." He also vowed the administration would be tougher on the country.
In July, the Pentagon withheld $50 million in funding for Pakistan after Defense Secretary James Mattis told Congress he would not certify that the country has done enough to fight the Haqqani Network.

Happy New Year!
Thanks for the ping and your excellent summary re the back stabbing Pakis.
I added our keyword IT Gate to the keywords on this thread.
The Criminal Pakis have been in bed with the world wide Deep State bastards for decades.
Thanks for posting this scary data re the longtime relationship of Obama and his criminal buddies, the Pakis!
Pakistani treachery was outlined by Carlotta Gall in her “The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan, 2001-2014” But no one seemed to care, until now.
“I guess more than just Mexico will pay for The Wall.”
2018 will allow our President to show how to save billions of our tax $’s that flow into the pockets of Deep State Criminals around the world.
Stopping those $’s from being wasted has several benefits to us as tax paying Americans.
We have no idea how much of our tax $’s are wasted in Black Budgets which fund our criminal CIA and criminals like those in charge of Pakistan.
Money for influence but it’s not working so may as well keep the money since can’t lose the influence you don’t have.
The private actions that supported OBL isn’t their military hideout? Oh yea, the Bush years...
Keep up the good work, Mr. President!
Baloney, all bush did was get service people killed for no reason. Just like his awful father the bushes suck. what was his nickname “give half” those two couldnt finish anything. Oh maybe you are referring to how every sortee across Pakistan cost 10000 each way super aggressive by blunderess George.
......keyword ITGATE-—a brilliant idea from Grampadave......
Thanks, Dave.
Finally a president with gonads. Love it.
Liz, this list of committees and subcommittees for the Muslim Congressman, Andre Carson, is FREAKIN’ UNBELIEVABLE!
It is a perfect base for TERRORIST ESPIONAGE, and the Dims are overt parts of the conspiracy.
As you suggest, the meaning of leadership in our swampy Congress is that if you FUNNEL MONEY to “Colleagues” you get the assignments and in the case of leaders like Ryan and McConnell, the votes.
I hope, and trust, that the forces of President Trump will FOLLOW THE MONEY. The Dims are an absolute ABSCESS of CORRUPTION, BLACKMAIL and TREASON.
N-i-ce rant.....sums up all of the corruptness beautifully.
BTW, Speaker Paul Ryan has the authority to remove Cong Carson from these committees.

Trump's dumping Pakistan today... he's not going to be played for a fool... The Swamp's days of feeding off rich corrupt ME types is ending.
Amen.
He tweets what I’ve been thinking for twenty years!
“George Bush may not have talked but his private actions were a 100 times more aggressive than Trumps tweets.”
(HAT TIP Disestablishmentarian)
Democrats are an absolute ABSCESS of CORRUPTION, BLACKMAIL and TREASON.
Proof positive is the list of Congressional committees and subcommittees Democrat Muslim Congressman, Andre Carson, sits on....its FREAKIN’ UNBELIEVABLE!
He has the perfect base on Capitol Hill for TERRORIST ESPIONAGE, and his fellow Dims are overt parts of the conspiracy.
No question, the meaning of leadership in the Congressional Swamp is that if you FUNNEL MONEY to “Colleagues” you get the committee assignments....... and in the case of leaders like Ryan and McConnel.....the votes.
I hope, and trust, that the forces of President Trump will FOLLOW THE MONEY.
In many cases it called leverage to move forward global American policy...or protect american interests
where did I vote for that.
You didn't vote for that, we are a republic not a democracy...
Vote your scum sucking congress critter out...
Several American companies are present there. GE and Siemens come to mind building power plants. Odongo probabaly set all that up with their left wing CEOs back in his day. I guess this means it gonna suck to be them. GE had already been driven into the dirt by its former left-wing CEO.
