Happy New Year to Pakistan: Twitter lights up after Donald Trump's 'no more funds' to Islamabad tweet

Issuing a tough warning to Pakistan, US President Donald Trump today alleged that the South Asian nation has given America nothing but lies and deceit and has given safe haven to terrorists.

"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," Trump said in a strongly worded tweet.

"They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!" Trump said in his first tweet of the year.

This is the strongest warning that has come from the US president.

In his new South Asia Policy unveiled in August, Trump had called for tougher measure against Pakistan if it did not cooperates the US in its fight against terrorism. 

Check out how Twitter reacted: 

Jai ho. But then, hope this goes beyond just a tweet from POTUS. https://t.co/hgY2zwsBEF

Realisation dawned! When India was requesting them not to fund the Pakis, the administration had its head in a warm dark place. https://t.co/QQhu3rlcod

Why do we never hear our politicians talk like this? Because @realDonaldTrump is not a politician, thank goodness. Pakistan is a black hole of ignorance and violence, a sanctuary for terrorists, and a hell hole for women. Should be shunned by the world. https://t.co/qpo9E6L61N

I've heard variants of this since the late 1950s. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes the US to realise the wisdom of their own words and act on them. https://t.co/f7WWu4OjIN

Congratulations @POTUS for such as unambiguous message to Pakistan, a country which harbors, nurtures and supports terrorists. https://t.co/cMTp4x6FOM

This is a familiar script, read out many times over many years, but the movie that followed was almost always from an earlier script ("We'll lose leverage if we don't pay"..."This time we'll make them behave"..."If we don't, China will"). Will the movie be different this time? https://t.co/Ph7fo6mkjH
