LONDON – 18 October 2025:
In a recent opinion piece, British newspaper The Guardian described Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as “the one man who seems to know how to handle Donald Trump,” praising his measured diplomacy and calm communication style during political interactions with the former US president.
The publication noted that while many world leaders have struggled to manage Trump’s unconventional and unpredictable demeanor, Shehbaz’s pragmatic and steady approach has enabled him to engage without confrontation or controversy.
According to The Guardian, Shehbaz Sharif’s experience as an administrator and negotiator has made him adept at navigating complex diplomatic situations — a skill that has drawn respect from both Western and regional observers.
The article further highlighted Pakistan’s renewed focus on balanced international relations, suggesting that Sharif’s leadership style may help the country maintain productive ties with global powers amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.
Political analysts in Pakistan and abroad have echoed the sentiment, calling the recognition from The Guardian a reflection of Shehbaz Sharif’s growing international stature and mature statesmanship.
