"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!" This was the tweet Trump posted on New Years Day. Shortly after, Pakistan held an emergency security meeting. The White House said it will still withhold $255 million out of irritation from Pakistan's obstinance in confronting the terrorist groups.

I'd have to do some research into what our agreements with Pakistan actually are. I will say that if we had taken George Washington's advice, we wouldn't be paying countries to be our allies. ;)
