In a significant diplomatic development, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir met former US President Donald Trump at the White House. The high-profile meeting was held behind closed doors, with media access strictly restricted.
This marks the first time since 2019 that a Pakistani Prime Minister has entered the White House, the last being Imran Khan during his official visit. According to reliable sources, the discussions revolved around trade, security cooperation, and broader geopolitical strategies.
The timing of the meeting has drawn attention as Pakistan appears to be strengthening its ties with the United States amid ongoing tensions with India. Observers believe the meeting was strategically important, especially in the backdrop of recent regional conflicts.
It is also being reported that this interaction comes soon after Operation Sindoor, where General Munir’s role was widely noted. Analysts suggest that Pakistan is seeking to reposition its foreign policy approach, balancing its internal challenges while aligning more closely with Washington.
The closed-door nature of the talks has fueled speculation on sensitive matters that may have been discussed, including counter-terrorism, economic aid, and regional stability. While no official statement has yet been released, diplomatic circles consider the meeting a crucial step in Pakistan-US relations.
