Pakistan has summoned the US Charge d'Affaires in Islamabad to protest against remarks made by President Donald Trump who has criticised Pakistan's role in fighting terrorism fight and the capture of Osama bin Laden.
"The Foreign Secretary called in the US CdA Ambassador Paul Jones to register a strong protest on the unwarranted and unsubstantiated allegations made against Pakistan," Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Over the weekend, Trump said in an interview Pakistan doesn't "do a damn thing" for the United States despite billions of dollars in US aid, and alleged Pakistani officials knew former al Qaeda leader bin Laden's location before his killing by US troops in a raid inside Pakistan in 2011.
On Monday, Trump tweeted again and doubled down on those claims.
