ISLAMABAD – The United States Ambassador to Pakistan, David Hale was summoned to the Foreign Office (FO) on Monday over US President Donald Trump’s statement against Pakistan.
The US Embassy confirmed that Ambassador Hale was summoned by the Foreign Office at 9:pm.
Sources said Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua sought an explanation from the ambassador over the American president’s tweet.
According to sources, Hale was summoned to record protest against Trump’s statements, in which he said that Pakistan has given nothing except for “lies and deceit” in return for the aid the US provided Pakistan with.
In a tweet on Monday, the US president claimed that the United States had foolishly given Pakistan over $33 billion in aid over the last 15 years.
In his tweet, Trump accused Pakistan of thinking US leaders to be fools. “They give safe havens to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!”
