Former President Donald Trump met with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan within a day, coinciding with the UNGA summit. The US and Turkey formalized a strategic civil nuclear cooperation agreement, as confirmed by Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar. Trump also met with Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Pakistani army chief. Trump’s interactions with these leaders, including his praise of Munir, suggest a potential strengthening of US relations with both Turkey and Pakistan, which may have implications for India, especially considering existing geopolitical dynamics.
