After a phone call with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump revealed the reason for inviting Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir to the White House.

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir, praising his role in avoiding war with India and claiming diplomatic credit. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at the G7 Summit, criticised global double standards on terrorism and called for decisive international action.

In a significant and somewhat unexpected development, President Donald Trump is scheduled to host Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Asim Munir, for a lunch meeting at the White House today.

US State Secretary Marco Rubio called Pakistan Military Head General Asim Munir on 9 May 2025, the day when there was a height of Indian-Pakistani tensions between the two armies.
