Trump says he can ‘quickly solve’ Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict
- 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.
George Clooney just revealed that Hollywood stars are “not allowed to get old.”
The 64-year-old actor portrays the fictional big screen icon Jay Kelly in the upcoming Netflix movie of the same name, and he has reflected on the relationship between film fans and the stars they grow up watching.
He told Empire magazine: “You really do live your life through people’s actors and pictures.”
“And you’re not allowed to get old. I have people come [up to] me all the time saying, ‘You’re a lot older than I thought.’ Like, f*** off! I’m 64!” he hilariously added.
Clooney also recalled a scene from the film where his character is watching his life on screen, and the clips are all from the actor’s other real-life roles over the years.
He said: “There’s a weird thing where the older you get, the more you look at this stuff and go, ‘Wow, that was a long time ago.’ From my eyes, it was a minute ago.”
“That’s why I love that line in the movie when [a fan of Jay Kelly] says, ‘When I see you, I see my whole live,’” the Wolfs star added.
He continued, “I get it, man. I became friends with Gregory Peck and I felt like that.”
“I’d be sitting there with him, he’d be telling a story, and I’m just watching him thinking, ‘Dude, this guy’s in To Kill A Mockingbird!’ You know where you were when you saw The Omen the first time. Roman Holiday,” George Clooney concluded.
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.
