While stating that US President Donald Trump is "frustrated" but also values a "partnership with Pakistan", United States National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster has alleged Islamabad only goes after terrorists "selectively" while it "sustains and supports others who act as an arm of its foreign policy."
In an interview with Voice of America, McMaster said the US president's tweet was not a "blame game" rather termed it America's "effort to communicate clearly to Pakistan that our relationship can no longer bear the weight of contradictions, and that we have to really begin now to work together to stabilize Afghanistan."
