Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) Senator Mushahid Hussain on Tuesday said that Pakistan’s assistance is a prerequisite for the United States to move forward in Afghanistan. Speaking on a TV show, the senator stated that the hostile statements made by the US President Donald Trump are intended to please India and gather latter’s support in the region. Also, he said that this posture against Pakistan is taken to put us under a pressure and sabotage China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Earlier, Donald Trump had tweeted against Pakistan, saying that the US had “foolishly” given $33 billion to Pakistan, accusing Pakistan of deceit and disingenuousness. 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.
