WASHINGTON: United States President Donald Trump is not satisfied with the progress made by Pakistan in its fight against terrorism, the White House said here on Friday.

"We have seen modest progress in terms of Pakistan's actual acknowledgment of these concerns, but the President is not satisfied with progress when it comes to Pakistan," White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah told reporters during a press conference.

He added, "I know that we have restored some clarity in our relationship with Pakistan. For the first time we are holding Pakistan accountable for its actions."
