In what Pakistan military claimed to be a show of ‘depth, cordiality of the dialogue,’ the Trump-Munir meeting went on for two hours despite being scheduled for an hour.
Speaking to reporters at White House ahead of scheduled meet with Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Munir, Trump also says, ‘We’re going to make a trade deal with Modi of India’.
Munir Friday talked about apparent need for peaceful resolution of 'Kashmir issue' & condemned India for what he claimed was ‘hydro-terrorism’, a reference to New Delhi putting Indus treaty in abeyance.
Asim Munir locked up Imran Khan, had his handmaiden parliament give himself an extended tenure. But the additional jingle of that fifth star will not change facts on the ground.
Field Marshal Munir’s rise is built on failure, fury, and falsehoods. As Pakistan spirals, India must stay vigilant—militarily, diplomatically, and economically.
Munir presented the framed painting, which shows striking resemblance to a Chinese military drill, as a gift to PM Shehbaz Sharif at a dinner last week hosted by the Army chief.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
