Mahadangal: Trump Meets Pakistan Army Chief Amid Iran Tensions, Sparks Speculation Over Hidden Agendas

In a surprising political development, former U.S. President Donald Trump met with Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir at the White House amid rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding potential U.S. military involvement in Iran. The meeting took place just days after border skirmishes between India and Pakistan and follows a recent crypto business deal between Trump’s family-owned company and the Pakistan Crypto Council. This sudden warming of relations between Trump—who once harshly criticized Pakistan for harboring terrorists—and the Pakistani military has raised questions about his true motives. The White House’s Deputy Press Secretary stated the meeting was also due to General Munir nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for preventing a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. This has triggered political unrest in India, where opposition parties are questioning PM Modi’s silence on Trump’s growing Pakistan engagement. Analysts suggest Trump’s interest lies in business opportunities, regional influence, and potential military leverage in the Iran situation. Observers also draw parallels to past Pakistani army chiefs meeting U.S. presidents during military regimes, raising speculation about a possible power shift in Pakistan.
