Trump Praises Pakistan'S Military Efforts Against Taliban In Afghanistan

In a recent statement, US President Donald Trump expressed strong support for Pakistan amid the ongoing conflict with Afghanistan, asserting that Pakistan is 'doing terrifically well.' During a press conference on February 27, 2026, Trump remarked, 'I would (intervene). But I get along with Pakistan very very well. They have a great Prime Minister, a great General,' highlighting his respect for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir. This comes as Pakistan intensifies its military operations against the Afghan Taliban regime, specifically through Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq, which has reportedly inflicted heavy losses on Taliban fighters. Notably, Pakistan announced that its airstrikes since Thursday have hit 22 Afghan military targets, resulting in the deaths of 274 Taliban officials, as reported by The Hindu on February 28, 2026.
