US President Donald Trump praised Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir as "great people" and claimed he will "quickly" resolve the Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict. Speaking during the Thailand-Cambodia peace deal signing at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Trump said solving this conflict would add to his list of ending "eight un-endable wars," stating "We're averaging one a month." Peace talks in Istanbul between Pakistan and Afghanistan concluded after a nine-hour session, with both delegations committing to immediate de-escalation of border tensions, though no formal agreement was signed. Pakistan's defence minister warned failure would mean "open war."
