Trump -Munir Lunch: Iran, trade or terrorism – What is the sudden warmth of the US President towards Pakistan

Donald Trump’s White House Lunch represented an important diplomatic departure with Asim Munir on Wednesday, the first example of the US President hosting a Pakistani military leader who is not the head of the state.Pakistan’s relationship with the US is experiencing renewed association, which is marked by extended terrorism cooperation and potential economic participation. Recent developments include Pakistan’s suspected Abhay Gate Bomber capture and discussion about business deals, rare earth minerals and cryptocurrency investment, indicating a change from stressful relations already under the biden administration. The engagement is contrary to Trump’s previous stance when he accused Pakistan of deception and the characteristics of terrorists and former President Joe Biden Pakistan’s character, which was highly dangerous. So what is the reason behind this change in the heart?‘Pakistani knows Iran very well’Israel has been attacking Iranian cities since June 13, targeting generals, missile bases, nuclear facilities and scientists, resulting in over 200 deaths. Iran’s anti -retraction missiles and drone attacks on Israel have killed about 20 people in the last six days.The Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu is demanding US support in its aggressive against Iran, which shares a 900 km border with Pakistan.Speaking at the oval office after lunch with Munir, Trump said: “Pakistanis know very well, the best,” while “not happy.”Abhay Gate Bomber occupiesPakistan has long had a long -standing relationship with the US since its independence in 1947, initially aligned with Washington during the Cold War. The partnership was strengthened during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, in which Pakistan supported American objectives and collaborated to help Mujahideen forces, according to Aljazera.The relationship faced challenges after 9/11, especially when in 2011, Osama bin Laden was discovered in Abbottabad near Pakistan’s military headquarters. Since the Taliban’s return to power in 2021, Pakistan watched China rapidly for support.Three months ago, during his first address of a joint session of the Congress on March 4, newly-taken Trump revealed that Pakistan had caught the alleged criminal of a deadly Abhay Gate bombing at Kabul Airport since August 2021. The bombing occurred during the existence of the Taliban during the chaotic withdrawal of thousands of Taliban Afghans. In his address, Trump accepted Pakistan’s role in particular arrest. Trump said during his Congress address, “I want to thank the Government of Pakistan for helping the demon especially to help.”The US Central Command chief General Michael E Kurila praised Pakistan’s recent anti -terrorism efforts during his testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. “He is currently in an active anti -terrorism fight, and he has been an unprecedented partner in the anti -terrorism world,” said Kurila.Kurila highlighted direct coordination with Pakistan’s army chief in recent campaigns. “Field Marshal Asim Munir called me to tell me that he captured one of Daesh-K persons,” he said.Rare Earth Mineral Resource BusinessPakistan is now offering new economic incentives to strengthen relations with the US. According to Venbam, these include “more good, such as a trade deal with a tariff, a business deal with rare earth minerals and crypto offers.”The country has started promoting its rare earth mineral resources to foreign investors including the US and Saudi Arabia. These minerals are essential for defense, robotics and electronics industries.Pakistan has established a Crypto Council and started a discussion with American officials to attract investment and partnership in the Cryptocurrency sector.Transaction relationshipPakistan’s relationship with the United States has been historically translated, especially in security matters. While the US aid and investment supported Pakistan’s infrastructure and military development, when an alliance was formed with American strategic goals, the relationship has been plagued with mutual disbelief, with allegations of dual behavior from the US and Pakistan that its sacrifices are absent.The US has assisted Pakistan when needed and when its objectives were fulfilled. This pattern characterized his diplomatic relations over the years.Rumi said, “Until the relationship is not installed, beyond the safety lenses, it is seen, it is another strategic romance. And like the previous Delian, it may once fade after completing strategic goals or changes in the rule,” Rumi said.“It depends on whether it lends to China or America. The decision is also associated with the Israeli-Pilistine conflict and Iran’s role,” Ansar said, the global power keeping in mind the position of Pakistan at an important strategic intersection among the innings.Venbam offered a more vigilant assessment: “If Pakistan plays some role in Iran crisis, they may have more sufficient meaning for these relationships. But it is necessary to be ready that there is nothing with this administration. It can turn on a dime in any hour.”Continuation of military dominance in PakistanThe military institution has directly ruled Pakistan for more than three decades, with the currently elected government widely considered subordinate to military leadership under Munir.The major role of the army follows the historical pattern in the Pakistan-US relations. In the 1960s, the previous military rulers including Field Marshal Ayub Khan, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in the 1980s, and General Pervez Musharraf in the 2000s formed strong relations with the United States and received the White House invitations after becoming the head of the state.The field martial rank after Munir Khan is only the second Pakistani who strengthens the central role of the army despite the presence of the citizens government.“The meeting validate the permanent military-to-monsi track in the US-Pakistan relations, but it also bypasses the civic setup, which anyone should worry about containing for a democratic consolidation. If this is a ‘reset’, it is where Khaki has trumped the ballot,” Queenist expert Rumi described the ballot once again.Trump-Munir’s meeting continues to continue the continuity of military leadership in Pakistan’s international relations, despite being an elected government.
