Donald Trump greets Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif at the “Board of Peace” press conference, Washington, DC, February 19, 2026
EA on International Outlets: From Trump’s Sham “Board of Peace” to A Threatened War on Iran
I joined Pakistan’s SUCH News on Saturday to analyze Islamabad’s flattery of Donald Trump, including Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s fulsome praise during Thursday’s “Board of Peace” show in Washington.
I evaluate the state of Pakistan-US relations with the Trump camp’s replacement of strategy and geopolitics with a “transactional” foreign policy. I compare the position with that of India, whose Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to pay tribute to Trump.
I consider Pakistan’s regional position and the situation in the Middle East, cautioning that a “transactional” relationship — putting Islamabad at the whims of Trump’s ego — does not provide stability.
