At a peace summit in Egypt, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his hope for Pakistan and India to coexist as friendly and peaceful neighbors. His remarks came during a press conference focused on regional peace and cooperation.
Trump praised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, calling him a “great leader,” which drew a lighthearted response from Shehbaz, who recalled Pakistan’s defense achievements, including the downing of seven Indian jets.
In a surprising statement, Trump also referred to Army Chief General Asim Munir as his “favorite Field Marshal,” acknowledging Pakistan’s military leadership and its role in maintaining stability in the region.
Trump went on to claim that a previous conflict between Pakistan and India was resolved through trade and tariffs, emphasizing his contribution to peace efforts between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
His comments have sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many welcoming the message of harmony while others viewed it as symbolic diplomacy.
As tensions continue to fluctuate between the two South Asian nations, Trump’s call for peace underscores the global importance of dialogue, trade, and mutual respect in fostering long-term regional stability.
