Overview

• Pakistan’s prime minister met the U.S. president in a closed-door Oval Office meeting joined by Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
• A senior U.S. State Department official said discussions covered counterterrorism as well as economic and trade ties, and no detailed public readout was released.
• The Pakistani delegation arrived shortly before 5 p.m. and departed at 6:18 p.m., with no media access, according to pool reports cited by the Associated Press.
• The engagement follows the July 31 trade announcement that included a 19% U.S. tariff rate on Pakistani exports and U.S. participation in energy and minerals projects.
• Munir’s presence alongside the civilian leader underscored the military’s central role in Pakistan’s diplomacy as Washington’s warming with Islamabad draws scrutiny in India.
