How Donald Trump, PM Modi and other world leaders started New Year on Twitter

US President Donald Trump's first tweet of 2018 was a tirade against Pakistan in which he said the country has given them "nothing but lies & deceit".

The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!

"Our fellow citizens who suffer: I want to tell them that they belong to a great Nation that is held together by invisible threads... I will continue to do what you elected me: not adapt France to the rest of the world but allow our country to be what it is."

À nos concitoyens qui souffrent : je veux leur dire qu’ils appartiennent à une grande Nation qui se tient ensemble par des fils invisibles. Je leur adresse une pensée fraternelle.

— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) December 31, 2017

Je continuerai à faire ce pourquoi vous m'avez élu : non pas adapter la France au reste du monde mais permettre à notre pays d'être ce qu'il est.
