Washington(The COW News Digital)US President Donald Trump has said that the United States will not intervene in the ongoing conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, expressing confidence in Islamabad’s handling of the situation.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House, President Trump responded to questions regarding the escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries. When asked directly whether Washington would step in to mediate or influence the situation, he made his position clear.
“I could, but you know I have very good relations with Pakistan,” Trump said. He added that, in his view, Pakistan is moving forward in an impressive manner. “I think Pakistan is doing very well. Pakistan is handling Afghanistan well. I will not interfere,” he stated.
The US president also praised Pakistan’s leadership, describing it as strong and worthy of respect. Without naming individuals, he referred to the country’s prime minister and military leadership as “great people” and said he holds them in high regard.

Trump’s remarks come amid rising cross-border tensions and reports of military operations along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier. The situation has drawn international attention, given the strategic importance of the region and Washington’s long-standing involvement in South Asian affairs.
The United States has historically played a key role in Afghan and regional security matters, particularly during and after its military presence in Afghanistan. However, Trump’s latest comments signal a hands-off approach, at least for now, indicating that Washington does not intend to directly involve itself in the current standoff.
Political analysts say the statement may reflect a broader shift in US foreign policy priorities, focusing on strategic partnerships rather than direct intervention in regional disputes. Observers also note that diplomatic channels between Washington and Islamabad appear to remain active.
There has been no immediate response from Afghan officials regarding Trump’s remarks. Meanwhile, the situation between Pakistan and Afghanistan continues to develop, with both sides closely watched by regional and global powers.
Trump’s statement is likely to influence diplomatic calculations in the coming days, as international stakeholders assess the evolving security landscape in South Asia.
