US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Sunday that Pakistan does not do "a damn thing for us" and alleged that the country's government helped terror leader Osama bin Laden hide there.

Trump said this while defending his administration's decision to pull hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Pakistan.

"You know, living – think of this – living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion, I don’t know, I’ve seen nicer," Trump said, referring to bin Laden and his former compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, Trump told Fox News' Chris Wallace in an exclusive interview.

The compound was demolished shortly after United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group forces, in a daring late-night helicopter raid, killed bin Laden there in 2011.

"But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there," he added.  "And we give Pakistan $1.3 billion a year ... [bin Laden] lived in Pakistan, we’re supporting Pakistan, we’re giving them $1.3 billion a year -- which we don’t give them anymore, by the way. I ended it because they don’t do anything for us, they don’t do a damn thing for us," Trump said.
