Trump Sharif Phone Call

First there was a moment of panic, when Pakistanis struggled to absorb the news last month that Donald Trump, who had threatened to bar foreign Muslims from the United States and suggested it was time to "get tough" with Pakistan for sheltering terrorists, was the U.S. president-elect.

In reference to Donald Trump's conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, an influential US Congressman has said that the President-elect is unlikely to push back against Pakistan after he takes office.

US President-elect Donald Trump's "ignorant" conversation with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif may send India an "unwelcome message", a leading American magazine has said.

The morning papers were giddy with hyperbole on Thursday over the news that Donald Trump had spoken to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by phone a day earlier and showered compliments on a country he once accused of "betrayal and disrespect" - even offering to help the nuclear power solve its problems abroad.

Pakistan's Press Information Bureau on Wednesday released a readout of a phone call on Monday between Pakistan's prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, and the U.S. president-elect, Donald Trump. The readout is unusual in that it focuses almost entirely on Trump's contributions to the conversation, and reproduces them in a voice that is unmistakably his.
