The United States said on Thursday it was suspending at least
$900 million in security assistance to Pakistan until it takes action
against the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network militant groups.
The U.S. State Department announced the decision, saying it reflected
the Trump administration’s frustration that Pakistan has not done more
against the two groups that Washington says use sanctuaries in Pakistan
to launch attacks in neighboring Afghanistan that have killed U.S.,
Afghan and other forces.
The department declined to say exactly how much aid would be
suspended, saying the numbers were still being calculated and included
funding from both the State and Defense departments.
