Trump's Paradox: Embracing Pakistan's Army Chief Amidst US Radical Islam Fears
- •Donald Trump's diplomacy shows a paradox: fighting radical Islam domestically while preparing to welcome Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir.
- •US cities like Hamtramck are now Muslim-majority, and anti-Jewish incidents have surged by 400% since the Gaza war, raising domestic extremism concerns.
- •Trump's meeting with General Munir is a "business" strategy, not "love," recognizing the Army Chief as Pakistan's true power.
- •Key reasons for Trump's engagement include securing Pakistan's nuclear weapons, monitoring Afghanistan's terror groups (ISIS-K, Al-Qaeda), and countering China's influence.
- •General Munir seeks Trump's support to stabilize Pakistan under his leadership and prevent backing for Imran Khan.
Why It Matters: Trump's foreign policy is transactional: managing global threats and rivals through strategic alliances.
