US President Donald Trump praised Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, calling them “great people", while expressing confidence that Washington will soon help resolve the ongoing Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict.
Trump made the remarks while speaking to reporters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he witnessed the signing of a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia — a deal he said marked the end of yet another regional conflict.
“This is going to be a very long peace," Trump told journalists, adding that his administration had ended eight wars in eight months. “We’re averaging one a month," he claimed.
Turning to South Asia, Trump said he was aware of the recent fighting between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which erupted about two weeks ago and has claimed several lives.
“I know them both," he said. “Pakistan… the Field Marshal and the Prime Minister are great people, and I have no doubt we are going to get that done quickly. That one started up a few days ago. And I just feel it’s something I can do."
Trump, who has taken a personal interest in peace mediation since returning to power for a second term, added that he hoped to resolve the dispute soon.
“If I can take time and save millions of lives, that’s really a great thing. I can’t think of anything better to do," Trump said.
“The eight wars that my administration has ended in just eight months – there’s never been anything like that. Never. There never will be, either. I can’t think of any President who ever solved one war. I don’t think anybody… they start wars," he added.
