United States Ambassador to the United Nations Haley slammed Pakistan for harbouring terrorists and said that Islamabad should not even be given a single dollar until it addresses the issue. she said that the terrorists Pakistan continues to provide shelter to "turn around and kill American soldiers".
Us did not need to give money to the countries that wish to harm America go behind its back and try to stop us from doing things.
"I think there should be a strategic view on which countries we partner with which ones we count on to world with us on certain things and move forward accordingly. I think we just blindly allow money to keep going without thinking that this is real leverage. we have to use it."
"The one example I will give you is looking at Pakistan giving them over a billion dollars and they continue to harbour terrorists that turn around and kill our soldiers that's never okay. we should not even give them a dollar until they correct it. use the billion dollars that's not a small amount of change".
"You have to do things before we will even start to help you with your military or start to help you on counter-terrorism".
If she does not agree that the foreign aid can turn an adversary into an ally or can make a country more favourable than it would be otherwise, Haley said no I think it absolutely can I think that you do have to use it as leverage.
I don't think you should blindly give it and then expect goodwill. you have to ask for goodwill and then give it when you see good things happen.
The trump administration had cancelled USD 300 million worth military aid to Islamabad for not doing enough against terror groups active on its soil.
Defending his administrations' decision to stop hundreds of millions of dollars flowing in military aid to Pakistan Donald Trump said that Islamabad does not do a damn thing for the US. The Pakistani government helped late al-Qaeda leader and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden in his territory.
"You know, living thinks of this living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion, I don't know I have seen nicer." But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy everybody in Pakistan knew he was there.
"We gave Pakistan USD 1.3 billion a year lived in Pakistan we are supporting Pakistan we are giving them USD 1.3 billion a year which we don't give them anymore by the way I ended it because they don't do anything for us they don't do a damn thing for us."
