Trump hosts Pakistani army chief, disagrees with India over India-Pakistan war mediation

  • On June 18, 2025, US President Donald Trump welcomed General Asim Munir, the head of Pakistan’s military, for an uncommon luncheon at the White House in Washington DC.
  • This meeting occurred after a four-day military confrontation in early May, which was sparked by a terrorist incident on April 22 in Pahalgam resulting in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily tourists.
  • On May 7, India initiated Operation Sindoor aimed at militant bases near the Line of Control, leading to a ceasefire on May 10 following direct military-level negotiations without involvement from external parties.
  • Trump acknowledged the significant roles of General Munir and Prime Minister Modi in defusing tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations, claiming he prevented a major conflict from erupting.
  • Munir's visit enhanced US-Pakistan collaboration on counterterrorism amid ongoing regional challenges and was recognized by Pakistani leaders as an important step in diplomatic relations.
