Donald Trump Praises Pakistani Leaders While Promising to Resolve Afghanistan Conflict

US President Donald Trump has recently praised Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, describing them as "great people" during his visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Trump assured that the United States will soon work to resolve the ongoing conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which erupted approximately two weeks ago and has resulted in numerous casualties.

While in Malaysia after mediating a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia, Trump told reporters, "This is going to be a very long peace. This is one of eight wars that my administration has ended in just eight months. We're averaging one a month."

Addressing the Pakistan-Afghanistan situation, Trump expressed confidence in a quick resolution: "There is only one left. I heard that Pakistan and Afghanistan have started up. But I will get that solved very quickly. I know them both. Pakistan... the Field Marshal and the Prime Minister are great people, and I have no doubt we are going to get that done quickly."

The US President elaborated on his approach to conflict resolution, stating, "I do it nicely. I don't need to do it, I guess. But if I can take time and save millions of lives, that's really a great thing. I can't think of anything better to do."

Trump, who was not selected for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, has frequently claimed credit for ending various global conflicts since beginning his second presidential term. One such claim involved his supposed intervention in the India-Pakistan conflict following the Pahalgam terror attack.

However, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi contradicted this claim in Parliament, stating that no world leader had asked India to halt Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to the terror attack. Modi recounted, "On the night of May 9, US Vice President JD Vance tried to talk to me. He tried for an hour, but I was busy in a meeting with the forces. When I called him back, he told me Pakistan was planning a big attack. My answer was that if this is Pakistan's intention, it will have to pay a heavy price."
