Trump Hosts Gen Asim in Unprecedented White House Meet
- On June 18, 2025, US President Donald Trump welcomed the head of Pakistan’s military, General Asim Munir, for an uncommon luncheon at the White House in Washington DC.
- The meeting took place after a four-day military clash between India and Pakistan, which was sparked by a terrorist incident in Pahalgam on April 22 that resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily tourists.
- On May 7, India initiated Operation Sindoor targeting nine militant bases along the Line of Control, and the ceasefire declared on May 10 resulted from direct military dialogue rather than involvement by any third party.
- Trump acknowledged General Munir's significant role in de-escalating tensions from Pakistan’s side and also recognized PM Modi’s efforts in calming the situation on behalf of India between the two nuclear-armed nations.
- Munir's US visit strengthened counterterrorism cooperation with Washington and marked a diplomatic milestone amid rising regional tensions involving South Asia and the Middle East.
