Bloomberg: Modi Declined White House Meeting Amid Concerns Over Pakistan Army Chief’s Rising Profile

Bloomberg has reported a growing disgrace in New Delhi on the expansion of the international profile of Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Army Chief, which revealed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi rejected the White House meeting with Donald Trump, which could arrange a encounter with US President Munir.

The report stated that tension increased after the May ceasefire between India and Pakistan, which Trump claimed to broke publicly, claiming that he had stopped the “nuclear war”. Indian officials disputed the report, saying that New Delhi and Islamabad interacted directly on the Truce without any media involvement.

Concerns Over Legitimacy for Pakistan’s Military

According to Bloomberg, Modi became cautious after knowing that Trump invited Munir to the White House lunch.

Instead, Modi opted to continue with his pre -scheduled visit to Croatia.

Officials said after a phone call between Modi and Trump, the voice of the White House towards India changed, Trump openly criticized New Delhi – a sign of deteriorating bilateral relations.
