President Donald Trump has publicly praised Pakistan's leadership, calling the Field Marshal 'fantastic' and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif 'great'. However, he dismissed the prospect of traveling for talks with Iranian officials, stating, 'we're not going to be traveling 15-16 hours to have a meeting with people that nobody ever heard of before.' This public endorsement of Pakistan and dismissal of Iran comes amid a complex diplomatic backdrop where Pakistan has been acting as an intermediary between the US and Iran.
