The New York Times reported late last week that the Trump administration might withhold $225 million in aid over frustration with Pakistan’s handling of terror networks.

Administration officials told the newspaper that a final decision is expected in the next few weeks.

U.S. officials have long accused Pakistan of being slow to stamp out terrorist groups within its borders.

In August, Trump unveiled a new U.S. strategy for the war in Afghanistan aimed at defeating the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani Network, an affiliated group that operates in Pakistan.

Trump said then that Pakistan “gives safe haven to agents of chaos, violence and terror.” He also vowed the administration would be tougher on the country.
