On White House lunch itinerary of Trump a meeting with 'Pakistanion ke qatil' Asim Munir

Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir will meet US President Donald Trump on Wednesday over lunch, according to an official White House schedule.

The meeting between the two comes as tensions between Israel and Iran swell, putting West Asia in a precarious situation. Munir will also meet Trump a month after India successfully conducted Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

Munir is on a five-day visit to the US. Last week, the White House rejected claims that the army chief was invited to the US for the military parade hosted by Trump.

Munir faces protests in Washington

Munir was ridiculed in Washington on Tuesday as his motorcade entered a hotel in the US city. Chants of “shame on you” and “free Pakistan” were heard from Pakistani American citizens who were protesting Munir’s arrival in the country.

Some people were also heard saying “civilian supremacy in Pakistan.” Pakistani protestors gathered in front of Washington’s Four Seasons Hotel with a vehicle that carried a message for Munir, calling the army chief a “mass murderer” and carrying a slogan “democracy dies when guns speak.”

What will the two discuss?

While it is not officially announced what will be discussed during the lunch meeting between Trump and Munir, the president is currently busy dealing with the Israel-Iran conflict. He, in fact, cut his Canada trip short to return to the US and get both countries on the negotiating table.

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump claimed that “we” now have “complete and total control of the skies over Iran” and asserted that US forces “know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding.” He issued a stark warning that “our patience is wearing thin,” followed by a dramatic post demanding “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”

In a striking contrast, General Asim Munir and Pakistan have emerged as vocal supporters of Iran. Speaking in Washington, DC, Munir affirmed Pakistan’s solidarity with Iran while expressing hope for a swift resolution to the conflict.
