Meeting Scheduled Amidst Rising Tensions in the Middle East
Washington, Jun 18 (PTI) - US President Donald Trump is set to host Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir for lunch at the White House on Wednesday. The meeting comes amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East.
According to an advisory issued by the White House, "The President has lunch with the Chief of Army Staff of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan." The lunch is scheduled to take place at 1 pm (local time) in the Cabinet Room of the White House.
Trump's decision to host the Pakistan Army Chief comes after he cut short his trip to Kananaskis, Canada, for the G7 Leaders’ Summit. He returned to Washington Tuesday morning in light of the latest Israel-Iran conflict.
