In a rare gesture, U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (Jun 18, 2025) hosted Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir at the White house, weeks after India and Pakistan were locked in a four-day military conflict.

The closed-door luncheon meeting came amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran with Mr. Trump exploring Washington’s possible involvement.

Islamabad is known for his close ties with Tehran.

Mr. Munir met President Trump over lunch at the White House, the Geo News reported.

It was immediately not known what transpired in the meeting between Mr. Trump and “Field Marshal” Munir.
