Nikki Haley: Pakistan playing 'double game' for years - aljazeera

Pakistan has been accused of playing a "double game" and harbouring "terrorists" by Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, as the war of words continues between the two countries over military aid.

Haley's comments come a day after President Donald Trump threatened to cut aid to Pakistan for allegedly lying to the US and offering "little help" in hunting "terrorists" in neighbouring Afghanistan.

"There are clear reasons for this. Pakistan has played a double game for years," Haley told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York.

"They work with us at times, and they also harbour the terrorists that attack our troops in Afghanistan," Haley told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York. That game is not acceptable to this administration."

Urging greater cooperation from Pakistan in the fight against "terrorism", she said Trump "is willing to go to great lengths to stop all funding for Pakistan". More
