Former Pakistani Ambassador Husain Haqqani sarcastically suggested Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif deserves Olympic gold for flattering Donald Trump, responding to Sharif's latest praise-filled post. Sharif lauded Trump's "instrumental role in advancing global peace" through international accords, including the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord between Cambodia-Thailand, Gaza Peace Plan, and Middle East-South Asia stability efforts. This follows Sharif's earlier praise at Egypt's Peace Summit, where he called Trump "a man of peace" and "most genuine candidate" for the Nobel Prize, noting Pakistan's previous nomination of Trump. Haqqani's tongue-in-cheek X post referenced journalist Fareed Zakaria's suggestion that Trump flattery could become an Olympic sport, highlighting Sharif's repeated admiration pattern.
