A light-hearted remark by U.S. Vice President JD Vance has sparked fresh attention online. Speaking during ongoing diplomatic engagements, Vance joked that the two most important people in his life are his Indian wife, Usha Vance, and Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir. The Vice President went even further, saying he has spoken to Munir more than anyone else over the last three months. The unusual comment has triggered debate over Washington's growing contacts with Islamabad and the role Pakistan has played in recent Middle East diplomacy efforts.
