US President Donald Trump said it was an honour to meet Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir during a luncheon held at the White House
WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI, June 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House on Wednesday in an unprecedented meeting that risked worsening a disagreement with India over the president's claim that he stopped last month's conflict between the nuclear-armed South Asian foes.
“Pakistan and India are both nuclear powers,” the US president said. “We’re in talks with Pakistan on a trade agreement. The leadership of both nations is truly remarkable.”
