• US president says he ended eight wars in eight months.
• Trump says he can ‘nicely’ solve Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict.
• Adds saving millions of lives is his greatest achievement.
  

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he would “quickly resolve” the Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict, praising Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir as “great people.”

Trump made the remarks while addressing the signing ceremony of a Thailand-Cambodia peace deal on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur.

Border crossings between the two countries have remained closed since October 11, following clashes earlier this month that killed dozens on both sides in the worst fighting since the Taliban’s 2021 takeover of Kabul.

The border clashes were triggered after Islamabad demanded that Kabul control militants who attack Pakistan across their shared border, saying they operated from havens in Afghanistan. A ceasefire was agreed in talks hosted by Qatar and Turkiye last weekend and is holding between the two sides. 

During the second round of talks in Istanbul, Pakistan has handed over a comprehensive counterterrorism plan to the Afghan Taliban, sources said.

Referring to recent border tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Trump said he was confident of helping the two sides reach peace.

“… we’re averaging one a month. There is only one left, although I heard that Pakistan and Afghanistan have started up. But I’ll get that solved very quickly. I know them both. And the Field Marshal, and the Prime Minister are great people, and I have no doubt we’re going to get that done quickly.”

The US president further said he viewed peacebuilding as a priority. “If I can take time and save millions of lives, that’s really a great thing,” he remarked, adding that, unlike other presidents, he focused on ending wars rather than starting them.

“I can’t think of any president who ever solved one war. They start wars. They don’t solve them,” he added.

Meanwhile, the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia signed an enhanced ceasefire deal on Sunday in the presence of Trump, whose intervention in their fierce border conflict earned him a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

The agreement builds on a truce signed three months ago after Trump called the then-leaders of the two countries, urging them to end hostilities, or risk their respective trade talks with Washington being put on hold.

Both sides blame each other for starting the five-day exchange of rockets and heavy artillery, which killed at least 48 people and temporarily displaced an estimated 300,000 people in their worst fighting in recent history.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have officially gone public with their budding romance.

According to a video obtained by TMZ, the couple were spotted out together on Saturday night in Paris, France celebrating the Roar singer’s 41st birthday.

Perry looked beautiful in a tight red dress as she held hands with the former Canadian Prime Minister outside Crazy Horse Paris.

The Dark Horse crooner and Trudeau reportedly watched a cabaret show at the iconic venue, where they were greeted by fans and photographers.

Both the famous personalities, who first sparked dating rumors in July, looked quite cozy as they exited the theater and made their way to a chauffeured vehicle.

This sighting comes just one day after sources told Us Weekly that Perry is “really into” her bond with Trudeau.

“Katy is really into it. She’s very happy,” the insider shared, adding, “She’s trying to keep it low-key, and they’ve spent a lot of private time together. She’s not looking to publicize this relationship.”

The source added: “Their friends think they are a good match, but he actually hasn’t met a lot of her friends yet.”

Katy Perry was initially romantically linked to Justin Trudeau in July when they were seen together on a dinner date in Montreal.

Additionally, this comes after earlier this year she split from Orlando Bloom, her longtime fiancé with whom she shares a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. 

Jon Bon Jovi just called Ed Sheeran a “little brat” for declining a chance to collaborate.

In a recent interview, the 62-year-old rock icon revealed that he had hoped to team up with Sheeran for his latest project, but the timing didn’t work out.

“I wanted him very much on this and that would have been perfect,” Bon Jovi told Sky News.

“But Ed and I discussed it immediately and he said, ‘I’ve done too many things. I need to put my record out before I can do anything else.’ And I said, ‘Alright, you little brat, it’s fine.’ But no, I love him.”

However, this doesn’t rule out a guest appearance. Bon Jovi hinted that Sheeran — or another star collaborator — could show up during his upcoming Forever Tour.

“Who knows?” he teased. “Who knows who’s in town on the day?”

The Forever Tour will kick off in Edinburgh on August 28, 2026, followed by Dublin on August 30 and wrapping up in London at Wembley Stadium on September 4.

It also marks Bon Jovi’s long-awaited return to the stage after his 2022 vocal cord surgery.
