The US House of Representatives<a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pakistan-is-the-centre-of-the-taliban-says-afghan-president-ashraf-ghani-31620"> moved a bill to end &quot;non-defence aid&quot; to </a>Pakistan. The bill seeks to divert the money for infrastructure projects in the United States.

President Trump has <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/protest-in-kabul-as-afghan-officials-press-pakistan-over-attacks-31477">repeatedly warned Pakistan about </a>stopping aid and lashed out at the government for not doing enough to stop terrorists operating on its soil.

The bill introduced by Congressmen Mark Sanford from South Carolina and Thomas Massie from Kentucky seeks to prohibit the US State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) from sending American taxpayer money to Pakistan.

&ldquo;When the American people support other nations, our generosity shouldn&rsquo;t be used to reward terrorists with US taxpayer dollars,&rdquo; Sanford said while presenting the bill.

Last month the US had suspended security assistance to Pakistan for failing to take &quot;decisive action&quot; against Taliban.

President Trump had earlier said the US has &quot;foolishly&quot; spent $33 billion in aid in the last 15 years and &quot;got nothing but lies &amp; deceit&quot; in return. &nbsp;

Foreign minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif had earlier said Pakistan is better off without the US aid while addressing the Senate Standing Committee on Finance in Pakistan.

&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s bring that money home and use it to help rebuild our infrastructure instead of giving it to a nation that persecutes Christians and imprisons people such as the doctor that helped us get Osama bin Laden,&rdquo; Senator Paul said.
