U.S. President Donald Trump recently praised Pakistan’s role and support in counterterrorism efforts in Afghanistan. In response, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed gratitude to Trump, stating that Pakistan will continue to partner closely with the United States to ensure regional peace and stability.
Trump’s commendation came after Pakistan helped arrest a top terrorist involved in the 2021 Kabul airport bombing. Sharif highlighted Pakistan’s steadfast commitment to fighting terrorism and maintaining security in the region.
Meanwhile, Trump criticized India’s trade tariffs, calling them “highly unfair,” and announced that the U.S. would impose reciprocal tariffs starting April 2. During a joint session of Congress, he emphasized that the U.S. would match the tariffs imposed by other countries on American products.
