US President Donald Trump suggested he’s willing to step in to resolve days of deadly cross-border fighting between Pakistan and Afghanistan, saying he is “good at solving wars.”
Trump made the remarks while on his way to Egypt to co-chair an international peace summit on Gaza. Also expected to be in attendance is Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and army chief Asim Munir. Pakistani media said a meeting between the Pakistani leaders and Trump during the gathering was likely.
