David Hale, US Ambassador to Pakistan, speaks at the Pakistan Stock Exchange in Karachi on July 26, 2016. (Reuters file photo)ISLAMABAD: Pakistan civilian and military chiefs on Tuesday rejected "incomprehensible" US comments after President Donald Trump tweeted angrily about Pakistani "lies and deceit", with Islamabad summoning the US ambassador. Trump said the United States had been rewarded with "nothing but lies and deceit" for "foolishly" giving Pakistan more than $33 billion in aid in the last 15 years. The Pakistani foreign minister, Khawaja M. Asif, at first tweeted back that Pakistan would respond in due course. A day later, on Tuesday night, he tweeted that Trump should hire an auditor and "let the world know who is lying and deceiving".
