Pakistan announced on Saturday that it had proposed Donald Trump at the Nobel Peace Prize, a month and a half after the American president announced, to everyone’s surprise, a cease-fire between Islamabad and New Delhi. From May 6 to 10, the two neighboring and rival nuclear powers since their bloody score in 1947 had made the world fear the point of no return. Their conflict had ended with the announcement on the social network of Donald Trump of a ceasefire obtained, according to the host of the White House, at the end “of a long night of negotiations organized by the United States”.
Since then, Islamabad has continued to salute the action of Washington, for a long time his great military partner in the “war against terrorism” before withdrawing from Afghanistan and abandoning the region. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Moda repeats for his part that there was no American mediation to reach the ceasefire.
Foot calls
Donald Trump, he says he is behind half a dozen peace agreements or simply the maintenance of good neighborhood relations in recent years and has complained, in a long message on his social network at night, not having obtained Nobel Prize for this.
Islamabad, who narrowly escaped bankruptcy in 2023 thanks to yet another loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) continues to launch foot calls to foreign capitals, Washington in mind, hoping that they invest in its mining resources.
Again, on Wednesday, having lunch with Donald Trump in Washington, the Pakistani army leader, Marshal Asim Mounir, proposed “a partnership with mutual benefits” citing in particular “minerals”, “cryptocurrencies” and “artificial intelligence”, as many areas in which Mr. Trump invests personally.
