Washington, February 20, 2026
A dramatic moment unfolded at the ‘Board of Peace’ inauguration in US capital, grabbing global attention. President Donald Trump publicly praised Indian PM Narendra Modi while making visiting Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif stand awkwardly.
Trump declared amid world leaders/media: “India-Pakistan was huge. I spoke to PM Modi – great man, my best friend. He’s probably watching live.” Sharif stood per protocol as observer India (Modi absent) got lionized.
Trump repeated: Single call halted last year’s clash with jets downed. Warned 200% tariffs if fighting persisted; economic fear forced retreat.
Islamabad courted Trump ties, but episode underscores Modi’s higher favor. Viral video shows Sharif rising on cue, fueling international buzz.
