According to a recent report by The Guardian, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was the only leader who managed to handle former U.S. President Donald Trump calmly and effectively during the Sharm El-Sheikh summit.
The event, which gathered several world leaders, reportedly turned tense due to Trump’s unpredictable and outspoken behavior.
Throughout the summit, Trump made several controversial remarks that unsettled many attendees. He complimented the Italian Prime Minister on her looks, made awkward jokes with the Canadian Prime Minister, and embarrassed the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, with his blunt comments. To add to the disruption, Trump arrived more than two hours late to the event, keeping many leaders waiting.
However, amid the chaos, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stood out for his calm and composed response. The report mentioned that Sharif not only maintained a positive tone but also engaged Trump with confidence and respect.
When Trump attempted to walk up to the stage uninvited during another leader’s address, Sharif reportedly intervened politely and stopped him, preventing further embarrassment for the organizers.
Observers noted that while several leaders seemed uncomfortable or unsure how to respond to Trump’s unpredictable behavior, Shehbaz Sharif’s diplomatic approach helped defuse the tension in the room.
His ability to stay composed, communicate respectfully, and manage the situation earned him quiet praise from other participants.
The Guardian concluded that in a summit full of uneasy moments, Shehbaz Sharif’s calm diplomacy and steady leadership helped bring a sense of balance and professionalism to the gathering.
