Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir met US President Donald Trump on Thursday (25 September). Trump, Munir and Shahbaz met at the White House. The conversation between these three lasted for about an hour. It is being speculated that during this conversation in a closed room, there was a discussion about bilateral relations, business and regional security.
After increasing the distance from India, Trump has reached close to Pakistan. The US had imposed 50 percent tariff on India, due to which the relationship between the two countries is going through tension. According to the report of ‘Reuters’, there has been an agreement between the US and Pakistan a few weeks ago. Now the meeting of Trump and Shahbaz has been kept with the aim of deepening the relationship to both countries. During this time many issues have been discussed between them.
Trump-Shahbaz also met in New York
Trump and Shahbaz met earlier during the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 23 September. Turki, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, UAE, Jordan and Egypt were also attended by that meeting. There was talk to stop the ongoing war in Gaza among all these.
Shahbaz had to wait to meet Trump
According to the report of ‘Washington Post’, when Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz arrived to meet Trump, he was signing executive orders in the White House and then started talking to reporters. Because of this, Shahbaz had to wait for about 30 minutes to meet him.
What will affect India with the increasing proximity of America-Pakistan
America has tightened the visa rules on India. Earlier, 50 percent tariff was also imposed. Although in spite of all this, the relationship between the two countries is going to be back on track, but now Trump is increasing close to Pakistan. This can also affect the relations between India and America.
