Overview

• Pakistan’s prime minister will fly from New York to Washington on Thursday for the meeting and return to New York the same day to continue UN General Assembly engagements.
• Officials expect discussions on resetting ties with a focus on Afghanistan, counterterrorism cooperation, trade opportunities and regional tensions.
• The encounter is framed as building on Trump’s rare one-on-one with Field Marshal Asim Munir in June, which signaled a reopening of high-level channels.
• Some outlets report Munir may also be present for Thursday’s meeting, a detail that has not been widely or independently confirmed.
• This will be the first White House meeting between a U.S. president and a Pakistani prime minister since Imran Khan’s visit in July 2019.
