In a recent statement, US President Donald Trump praised Pakistan for 'doing terrifically well' amid ongoing border clashes with Afghanistan. During a press conference on February 27, 2026, Trump highlighted his respect for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir, stating, 'I would (intervene). But I get along with Pakistan very very well.' This comes as Pakistan has intensified its military operations against the Afghan Taliban regime through Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq, reportedly inflicting heavy losses on Taliban fighters, with airstrikes hitting 22 Afghan military targets and resulting in the deaths of 274 Taliban officials, according to The Hindu. Trump's remarks suggest a potential shift in the US's approach, as he indicated that Washington might consider intervention if the conflict escalates further, reflecting US concern over regional stability, as reported by Daily Times on February 28, 2026.
