At the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit, President Donald Trump praised Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir as his "favourite Field Marshal" while creating an awkward moment for PM Shehbaz Sharif by questioning India-Pakistan relations. The Pakistani government has repeatedly supported Trump's claims of ending the May military conflict between the neighboring countries, even nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize despite India's assertion that peace was achieved through direct military talks.
