Hundreds of demonstrators burnt the US flag and images of Donald Trump in protest at Washington's decision to suspend $255million of security aid to Pakistan.

Trump tweeted calling Pakistan liars and cheaters, provoking mass fury in the South Asian country.

The US had at the same time announced plans to withhold aid to Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.

The United States announced on Thursday that Washington would suspend national security assistance to Pakistan, claiming Islamabad was not taking the militant threat seriously enough.

'Today we can confirm that we are suspending security assistance only to Pakistan at this time,' State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert announced at a press briefing.

'Pakistan has the ability to get this money back in the future, but they have to take decisive action.'

Protesters also gathered to rail against the US president in the Pakistani port or Karachi on Tuesday, reports Fars News.

The crowd burned effigies of Trump along with his portrait and US flags.

Marching through the streets, they carried placards and banners which read, 'No more Trump!'

Asif said on Friday that Pakistan no longer thinks of the US as an ally after the behavior of the Trump administration.

'We do not have any alliance' with the US, Asif stated curtly, adding 'This is not how allies behave.'

This follows comments on Wednesday where the minister said history had taught his country not to 'blindly' trust the US.

'We considered your enemy as our own, we filled the Guantanamo Bay, we served you with such enthusiasm that we left our country in electricity and gas shortages,' he said.

'We tried to please you at the expense of our economy. We provided tens of thousands of visas as a result of which Black Water networks spread across our country.'

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also waded in, announcing his country should end dependence on US aid.

Sharif described Trump's tweet 'non-serious' and 'regrettable'.

The White House confirmed The United States has suspended its £255million military aid package to Pakistan for now.

The fate of the package, it said, would depend on Pakistan's future response to domestic terrorism.

Pakistan also summoned the US ambassador in Islamabad, David Hale, to a meeting at the Foreign Ministry after high level consultations between Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and civil and military leaders.
