First the Saudis, now Pakistan\u2019s generals\u2014who is Trump really working for? This has become a mystery question, with <a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/06\/07\/donald-trump-elon-musk-drama-goes-public-friends-turn-foes-due-to-one-big-beautiful-bill\/\">US President Trump<\/a> inviting Pak Army Chief Asim Munir to White House and hosting him for a lunch meeting. He also praised Munir\u2019s role in preventing escalation of the conflict between India and Pakistan and expressed his appreciation for taking a rather smart decision of ending the war.<\/p>\n<p>The lunch meeting was the first time a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/06\/18\/u-s-senate-passes-the-stablecoin-bill-a-major-landmark-in-crypto-industry\/\">US President<\/a> had hosted the powerful head of Pakistan\u2019s Army at the White House unaccompanied by senior Pakistan civilian officials. It also came amid escalating tensions between <a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/06\/17\/day-5-of-israel-iran-conflict-us-president-trump-leaves-g7-summit-early\/\">Israel and Iran<\/a>, with Trump exploring Washington\u2019s involvement. The US President also praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who he spoke to over a long 30-minute telephonic conversation. PM Modi post his telecon made his stance absolutely clear that the ceasefire following the May 7-10 military standoff was achieved through direct communication between the Indian militaries \u2013 not through any external mediation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-993 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FOOTBALL-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Donald Trump, Narendra Modi, Asim Munir\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FOOTBALL-1-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FOOTBALL-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FOOTBALL-1-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newsraise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FOOTBALL-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/06\/10\/us-crisis-intensifies-donald-trump-doubles-guard-deployment-in-la\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> inviting Asim Munir over, heaping excess praise on Pakistan and taking credit for his involvement in India-Pakistan terror strikes showcase him in a new light, of possibly indirectly snubbing PM Modi and the Indian diaspora.
