Overview

• Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir met President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, with Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio attending.
• The meeting, closed to the press, started about 30 minutes later than scheduled and ran roughly 80–90 minutes, according to Pakistan’s Prime Minister’s Office.
• Discussions covered regional security and counter-terrorism cooperation, alongside Pakistan’s pitch for U.S. investment in agriculture, IT, minerals and energy.
• Islamabad’s statement praised Trump’s role in facilitating a recent India–Pakistan ceasefire, a claim India disputes while insisting there was no third‑party mediation.
• The engagement follows a brief UNGA encounter earlier in the week and builds on a July 31 U.S.–Pakistan trade arrangement that set a 19% tariff and outlined energy and minerals cooperation.
