President Donald Trump is expected to meet Pakistan’s army chief for talks as the US considers supporting Israeli airstrikes on Iran, a country with a cooperative and complex relationship with the government in Islamabad.

The meeting between Trump and Pakistan’s Asim Munir is scheduled for 1 p.m. Washington time Wednesday in the White House Cabinet Room, according to the president’s daily public schedule.
