Trump kept Sharif, Munir waiting for 30 minutes ‘somewhere in beautiful Oval Office’

While speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, Trump called Munir, who is known to make provocative remarks against India, a ‘great guy’

US President Donald Trump kept “great guys” Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir waiting for over half an hour before he met them at the Oval Office during the duo’s White House visit.

Addressing a press conference ahead of his meeting with Sharif and Munir, Trump acknowledged that he ran late and said, “They may even be in this room right now, I don’t know…..they may be somewhere in the beautiful Oval Office.”

While speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, Trump called Munir, who is known to make provocative remarks against India, a ‘great guy’. “We have a great leader coming, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the Field Marshal. Field Marshal is a very great guy, and so is the Prime Minister, both, and they’re coming, and they may be in this room right now,” the Potus told the journalists.

The meeting follows a trade deal between the US and Pakistan and comes shortly after the leaders briefly met at the UN General Assembly in New York. However, Trump’s recent inclination towards Pakistan raised eyebrows, since in the past, the Republican firebrand called Islamabad a ‘  terrorist safe haven’ that has deceived the United States.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Army Chief Munir had visited the US twice recently, after the country  nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, unsolitiously giving him the credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire.

The Potus has frequently claimed he helped in easing out military tensions between India and Pakistan, saying he brokered peace during India’s  Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi denied any foreign influence in the operation.
