🇺🇸🤝🇵🇰 I wanted to thank him for...": #TRUMP on meeting Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir

In a rare and high-profile meeting, President Donald Trump hosted Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir, at the White House. Over a lunch meet, Trump praised Munir’s role in preventing conflict with India, stating:

💬 “I wanted to thank him for not going into the war and ending it…”

🕊️ Trump took partial credit for helping ease tensions in South Asia and applauded both PM Narendra Modi and Gen. Munir for “choosing peace over war.”

🌍 “Those are two nuclear powers,” he added, “It was an honour to meet him today.”

🇮🇳 However, India had a different take. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri clarified the ceasefire was achieved through direct military talks, not U.S. mediation. PM Modi reportedly conveyed this to Trump during a prior meeting.

⚔️ The backdrop: Rising Middle East tensions between Israel and Iran, and speculation about Pakistan's role. Reports hinted at Pakistan supporting Iran, though Munir expressed public backing for U.S. efforts to de-escalate the crisis.

🛡️ One big takeaway: A stronger U.S.-Pakistan counterterrorism partnership, especially against ISIS-K threats.

📸 Munir is the first Pakistani military leader to visit a sitting U.S. President since 2001.

🚨 Meanwhile, his visit sparked protests from overseas Pakistanis. Outside a Washington hotel, slogans like:

“Pakistanio ke Qatil!” and “Democracy dies when guns speak” were chanted. Screens read: “Mass Murderer Asim Munir” and “Your time is up.”

🔄 Despite the diplomatic optics, Munir’s U.S. tour was marked by criticism and deep divisions within the global Pakistani diaspora.
