What Trump did for Pakistan in India?

Foreign Experts say that the US President’s visit to India remained in favour of Pakistan which speak volumes about the efforts of Prime Minister Imran Khan on foreign fronts.

“There was nothing but a praise for Pakistan,” said Arvinder Singh, a Dehli based economic expert, adding that “However, there are good memories of the US President with Prime Minister Modi,”. During his speech at Ahmadabad, US President Trump said: “He has good relations with Pakistan and that he is hopeful that tensions will reduce,”.

Some others say that this effort by President Trump may lead both Pakistan and India close to resolve all their outstanding issues. “Trump’s visit to India and few words in favor of Pakistan are very important,” said Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi. “This is what Prime Minister Imran Khan has done for Pakistan on foreign fronts,” he added.
