Pakistan initially claimed they were nominating Trump as "a genuine peacemaker" for his role in bringing a four-day conflict with India to an end.

Pakistan condemned the US’s bombing of nuclear sites in Iran while at the same time taking steps to build stronger ties with President Donald Trump, suggesting limits to how far Islamabad will go in supporting Tehran in the crisis.

Pakistan had praised Trump's "legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building" prior to the U.S. strikes.
