Thousands of U.S. and its coalition forces in Afghanistan depend mostly on ground and air routes through Pakistan for supplies of ammunition and goods. As Washington is currently at odds with both Russia and Iran, it has left the Trump administration with almost no options but to rely on Pakistani supply routes to sustain the Afghan military mission.
Just three days after Trump's Tweet, the White House has confirmed suspending 255 million U.S. dollars of military aid to Pakistan, according to local reports on Wednesday.
Pakistan's former ambassador Ayaz Wazir to Afghanistan said the use of language by Trump is not expected of a person in that high position and also of an independent and sovereign state.
"It's very unfortunate that the president of the world's most powerful nation is setting wrong principles in international relations. It will not set things right but prove counterproductive," Wazir told Xinhua recently.
