President Donald Trump kept Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir waiting for nearly an hour at the Oval Office before their scheduled meeting. Trump addressed reporters from the Oval Office, saying, "they're coming, and they may be in this room right now. I don't know, because we're late." The Pakistani officials were made to wait as Trump boasted to reporters, signed a TikTok deal and flaunted his new Pakistan 'peace broker' image. Despite the diplomatic awkwardness, the closed-door meeting eventually proceeded, marking warming ties between Washington and Islamabad. Trump called Sharif a "great leader" after the meeting concluded, signaling improved bilateral relations despite the initial delay.
