How Pakistan's Asim Munir became Trump's favourite field marshal'
"The setting was Mar-a-Lago, the personal residence of United States President Donald Trump, and the question concerned the fate of Russia's war on Ukraine, which has been raging since February 2022. We have stopped eight wars, Trump said during a news conference on December 22, where he also announced a new class of heavily armed warships that will be named after him."
"We stopped a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India, the president added, making the argument for why he believed he could end the war in Ukraine, though he has so far failed to do so, despite once claiming he could stop the conflict within 24 hours. The head of Pakistan and a highly respected general he is a field marshal and also the prime minister of Pakistan said that President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more, the US president added."
Field Marshal Asim Munir has emerged as a soldier-diplomat who drove Pakistan's geopolitical reemergence over the past year. U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly praised Munir publicly, calling him a favourite field marshal and crediting him with helping avert conflicts. Trump asserted at Mar-a-Lago that We have stopped eight wars and claimed a potential Pakistan-India nuclear war was prevented. Trump also suggested Pakistan's leadership saved millions of lives. The sustained public warmth from the U.S. president reflects elevated international attention toward Pakistan's army chief. Domestic critics caution that deep domestic challenges persist and could intensify without political and economic reforms.
