It cited the suspension of Pakistan's security aid as an example of Trump telling the US' allies that they cannot be America's friends while supporting or condoning terror.

It said, Trump is committed to destroying ISIS, and the global coalition will hunt these terrorists wherever they hide.
The White House said that by suspending the security assistance to Pakistan, Trump has sent a long overdue message to the recipients of American foreign aid that the administration expects them to fully join the US in combating terrorism.
