The US administration has suspended $ 3 billion in security assistance to Pakistan this year, a figure which is much higher than the USD 1.3 billion quoted by the Trump administration earlier, according to sources.
Khan fired back, telling the president on Twitter that he "needs to be informed about historical facts."
Khan said that the US aid to Pakistan was a "miniscule" $20 billion, while the country lost 75,000 people and more than 123 billion dollars due to the 'US War on Terror' fought by former Pakistan governments since 9/11.

The USD 3 billion amount was calculated in the latest compilation of all figures coming from various funding streams from different fiscal years; however, it has not been made public yet.
The suspended figure of $3 billion is much higher than the $1.3 billion quoted by President Donald Trump this month and $1.66 billion reported by the Pentagon last week. The compilation of the figures coming from various wings of the US Government is understood to have been done after the recent Twitter spat between President Trump and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The US president this month said that Pakistan did not "do a damn thing" for the US despite billions of dollars in American aid for the South Asian nation.
Khan fired back, telling the president on Twitter that he "needs to be informed about historical facts."
Khan said that the US aid to Pakistan was a "miniscule" $20 billion, while the country lost 75,000 people and more than 123 billion dollars due to the 'US War on Terror' fought by former Pakistan governments since 9/11.
