U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to withhold $255 million in foreign military aid to Pakistan, tweeting that Pakistan has “given us nothing but lies & deceit” and provided terrorists a “safe haven.”The terrorist loving/arming traitors from the Obama administration allowed JuD and FIF “terrorist fronts” for Lashkar-e-Taiba to operate in Pakistan without reproach for the last 8 years. Awesome that Trump is finally doing something about it! MAGA dudes MAGA
Days later, Pakistan announced plans to seize control of charities and financial assets linked to the Islamist leader Hafiz Saeed, designated a terrorist by the U.S., according to officials and documents reviewed by Reuters.
The country’s civilian government explained its plans in a secret order to various departments on Dec. 19, three officials told Reuters, targeting two of Saeed’s charities for “takeover.” The JuD and FIF alone have about 50,000 volunteers and hundreds of other paid workers, according to two counter-terrorism officials.
This marks the first time Pakistan has made a move against Saeed’s network, which includes 300 seminaries and schools, hospitals, a publishing house and ambulance services. It's also the first action taken by Pakistan against a terrorists organization operating in their country.
