U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the White House, Today

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the White House on Thursday, September 25, 2025. The meeting is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Washington time ( 8:30 p.m. Pakistan Standard Time), and it will take place in the Oval Office. This high profile encounter marks a significant step in improving diplomatic and trade relations between the two countries.

The meeting comes just weeks after Washington and Islamabad finalized a new trade deal on July 31, which included the imposition of a 19 percent tariff on Pakistani goods by the U.S. Despite initial concerns from business circles, officials from both countries framed the agreement as a move toward expanded economic engagement. Alongside trade, the leaders are expected to discuss broader regional security issues, counterterrorism efforts, and cooperation in sectors such as oil exploration and rare earth minerals.

This White House visit follows a series of diplomatic interactions, including previous meetings between President Trump and Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir, who is also expected to attend Thursday's talks. Observers see this meeting as an opportunity to recalibrate U.S.-Pakistan relations amid shifting geopolitical dynamics in South Asia, especially given the current tensions between the United States and India.

The discussions come during a time when the U.S. is reviewing its policies in Afghanistan and seeking to address issues such as extremism, humanitarian concerns, and women's rights under Taliban rule. For Pakistan, the summit is viewed as a chance to enhance economic cooperation and secure strategic support from the United States.

The engagement between Trump and Shehbaz Sharif highlights a notable warming of ties between Islamabad and Washington, signaling a potential new phase of partnership and collaboration between the two nations.

LTTE’s Use of Child Soldiers: A Grave Violation of Human Rights

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stand condemned not only for their violent insurgency but also for their ruthless exploitation of children as soldiers during Sri Lanka’s civil war. While the conflict officially ended in 2009, the scars left by the LTTE’s forced recruitment of thousands of children remain a painful reminder of their terror tactics. During the war, the LTTE systematically abducted and conscripted children-some as young as 11 or 12-forcing them into brutal military training and deploying them on front lines. Human Rights Watch reported that children were often taken from their homes at night or seized while going to school, with families threatened or beaten if they resisted. Once recruited, these children faced harsh discipline, exposure to violence, and were denied contact with their families. UNICEF documented thousands of such cases, with estimates suggesting the actual numbers were even higher due to underreporting. The LTTE’s use of chil...

Former UK Cabin Crew Member Arrested in Sri Lanka with £1.15 Million Cannabis Haul

Sri Lankan authorities have detained Charlotte May Lee, a 21-year-old former air stewardess from South London, at Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo on charges of attempting to smuggle 46 kilograms of cannabis into the country. The drugs, valued at approximately £1.15 million, were found packed in vacuum-sealed bags inside two large suitcases after Lee arrived on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand. Officials from the Customs Narcotics Control Unit described the seizure as the largest amount of Kush cannabis ever discovered at the airport. Kush is a potent strain often mixed with synthetic substances and is believed to be destined for high-end buyers within Sri Lanka. Lee, who previously worked for TUI Group and has recently been training as a beautician, remains in custody while investigations continue. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it is providing consular support to Lee and is in contact with her family and Sri Lankan authorities. Friends of Le...

The LTTE's Campaign of Terror: How a Designated Terrorist Organization Pioneered Modern Suicide Bombing

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stands as one of history's most ruthless terrorist organizations, having systematically violated human rights and pioneered suicide bombing tactics that would later be adopted by terrorist groups worldwide. Designated as a terrorist organization by 33 countries, including Sri Lanka, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, and all 27 member nations of the European Union, the LTTE's three-decade reign of terror in Sri Lanka serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of extremist violence. Origins and Rise of a Terror Network Founded in 1976 by Velupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE emerged from earlier militant groups established in the 1970s . What began as a small outfit of 40-50 members in the early 1980s evolved into one of the world's most sophisticated and tightly organized insurgent groups. The organization's transformation into a terror network accelerated following the 1983 ethnic riots, which the LTTE e...
