President Trump called on Pakistan to step up in the global war on Islamic terror during a speech on the Afghanistan War. Shortly after, U.S. bank regulators shut down Habib Bank, Pakistan’s largest bank, over terror financing charges. The announcement was made today.

Trump said the United States will no longer give billions of US dollars to a country that supports the criminals and terrorists we are fighting.

POTUS Trump: We can no longer be silent of Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organizations. The Taliban and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond. Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan. It has much to lose to continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists. In the past Pakistan has been a valued partner. Our militaries have worked together against a common enemy. The Pakistani people have suffered greatly from terrorism and extremism. We recognize those contributions and those sacrifices. Pakistan has also sheltered the same organizations that try every single day to kill our people. We have been paying Pakistan billions and billions of dollars at the same time they are housing the very terrorists that we are fighting.
