Minister took to Twitter to remind the US President Donald Trump of the losses incurred by Pakistan over the years in helping the US in the war on terror. 

"Trump's tirade against Pakistan and his claim that that Pak does not do "a damn thing" for the US shd be a lesson for those Pak leaders who kept appeasing the US esp after 9/11! The renditions; the loss of Pak lives in US 'War on Terror'; the free space for Raymond Davis & other operatives. The illegal killings by drone attacks; the list is endless but once again history shows appeasement does not work. Also, whether China or Iran, US policies of containment & isolation do not coincide with Pak strategic interests," tweeted Shireen Mazari.

"@realDonaldTrump suffers conveniently from perpetual historic amnesia!" the tweet read.
