I would say... something else. Pakistan created their nuclear weapons program without our financial assistance. They created in response to India's successful program... something we also did not assist.

The something else is about HARD CHOICES IN LIFE. As our new President has now discovered, very few things are as simple as they initially appear when you do not have to make the decisions and live with the consequences. Very few people in life find themselves in the position of having to make decisions which significantly affect the lives of hundreds of people, much less millions.

According to an article on cnn.com, a link for which is provided, the United States has pledged 100 Million Dollars to assist displaced refugees in Pakistan.
