Us Freeze Pak Aid

The US have begun to see "positive indicators" from Pakistan for some time now, a top general said today, while clarifying that the freeze in American security aid to the country will continue as it is yet to take any decisive action against the Taliban and the Haqqani network.

President Donald Trump's freeze on aid to Pakistan could be worth almost two billion dollars, a senior US administration official said on Friday -- substantially more than first thought.

The United States will suspend most of its security assistance to Pakistan, the State Department said Thursday, signaling the Trump administration's intent to force the country to eliminate militant safe havens.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has warned that the US would be responsible if her country failed in the war on terrorism, a remark that comes in the backdrop of a move by American lawmakers to freeze aid worth US $700 million to Islamabad.

A day after a key Congress panel agreed to freeze $700 million in aid to Pakistan, the US has said that it was just a proposal under a defence bill and made it clear that it has not cut any civilian assistance to the country, with which its ties have plunged to a new low following a deadly NATO raid.
