US President Donald Trump in his speech criticized Pakistan for harboring the terrorists.
“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. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more,” President Trump first tweet of 2018 reads.
The tweet was loved by nearly quarter-million Americans and retweeted 83,000 times in less than 24 hours.

“Serious measures should be taken for the strengthening of the current system that the biggest challenges eliminate in the nearest time,” Sidiqi said.
