The United States on Thursday reiterated its tough stance on terrorism, with the State Department warning that countries or entities supporting terror will face consequences under the Trump administration. The statement echoes US President Donald Trump’s pledge to hold accountable those who aid or shelter terrorist groups.

“As the President of the US (POTUS) has made very clear, under the Trump administration there will be consequences for those who support terrorism," the US State Department said in a tweet. It also posted a similar tweet from its Hindi language handle.
