Trump today (October 14) shared a post: "Prime Minister of Pakistan Sharif Shabaz praised President Trump at the Gaza Peace Summit: 'Mr. President, I pay tribute to your exemplary leadership - visionary leadership. I believe that at this moment, you are exactly the person the world needs most.'"
Comments: Pakistan's public recognition of the United States' leadership is, on one hand, following the wishes of the Trump administration, so that practical projects such as cooperation in rare earth minerals and development of Port Pasni can proceed smoothly, thereby seeking help from the US in IMF loan approvals and debt restructuring to alleviate its $130 billion foreign debt pressure; on the other hand, maintaining a friendly relationship with the United States by adopting a flattering attitude in international forums, which aligns with the US strategy of supporting Pakistan to counterbalance India in South Asia, and also paves the way for its export of key minerals and attracting American investment. This approach of "showing favor to the US to gain practical benefits, while balancing between major powers to survive" reflects Pakistan's foreign policy of prioritizing its own interests.
