LONDON – 17 October 2025:
A British newspaper has lauded Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for his “measured and tactful diplomacy” in handling interactions with former US President Donald Trump, describing him as one of the few world leaders capable of engaging effectively with the outspoken American politician.
In a recent editorial, the paper highlighted Sharif’s “calm temperament, political experience, and pragmatic communication style”, which reportedly helped maintain a stable tone in past exchanges and diplomatic discussions involving the United States.
The report noted that while many leaders struggled to manage Trump’s unpredictable style, Shehbaz Sharif’s patient and composed demeanor allowed him to “navigate the complexities of personality-driven politics” without confrontation.
Political observers in Pakistan have welcomed the acknowledgment, calling it a reflection of Sharif’s longstanding experience in governance and international diplomacy.
The article further mentioned that Pakistan’s leadership under Shehbaz has shown an ability to balance relations with major powers while keeping Pakistan’s interests intact amid shifting global dynamics.
