Donald Trump-Asim Munir Lunch Leaves Internet Full Of Memes
Weeks after the India-Pakistan stand-off, US President Donald Trump hosted Asim Munir, the Pakistani Army Chief-turned-Field Marshal, for a private lunch at the White House.
The rare meeting came amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, with Munir's visit drawing attention due to Pakistan's close ties with Tehran. "They know Iran better than most," Trump told reporters. Munir was accompanied by ISI chief Lt Gen Asim Malik during the hour-long meeting.
While no details of the discussion were made public, the internet filled in the blanks. Memes have taken over, with edits of Trump and Munir "brokering world peace over biryani" now flooding social feeds.
A user on X, wrote, "Trump giving free food to Munir so that Pakistan can backstab Iran when the time comes."

According to Trump, the luncheon was his way of thanking Munir for helping prevent a full-blown war with India after four days of missile and drone exchanges in May. Trump praised both Munir and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling them "very smart people" for defusing what he claimed could've escalated into a nuclear conflict.

US embassy warns visa holders after viral deportation video: ‘It's a privilege, not a right'
NEW DELHI: The US Embassy in India has issued a sharp warning to visa holders, reiterating that 'a US visa is a privilege, not a right', and that violating US laws, even after arrival, can lead to visa revocation and ineligibility for future travel. The statement, posted on the embassy's official X handle on Thursday, emphasized that screening doesn't end once a visa is issued, and any illegal activity, including drug use or breach of immigration laws while on a student or visitor visa, could have lasting consequences. 'Using illegal drugs or breaking any US laws while on a student/visitor visa can make you ineligible for future US visas. A US visa is a privilege, not a right… and we may revoke your visa if you break the law,' the embassy said. Third warning this month This is the third such advisory from the US Embassy in India in June alone, each one stressing Washington's firm stance against visa misuse and illegal immigration. On June 10, the embassy stated that while the United States welcomes legitimate travellers, it "cannot and will not tolerate" illegal entry or violation of laws. A follow-up on June 16 went a step further, noting that the US has established new visa restrictions on foreign officials and facilitators of mass or illegal immigration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No oil wells in Rhode Island: Chevron calls climate change lawsuit frivolous Legal Newsline Learn More Undo Indian student's deportation sparks outrage The latest statement comes amid a surge in deportation cases and the circulation of a viral video showing an Indian student in handcuffs at Newark Airport, allegedly being deported. The clip, shared by Indian-American author Kunal Jain, triggered a wave of concern across Indian social media. 'I witnessed a young Indian student being deported from Newark Airport last night, handcuffed, crying, treated like a criminal. He came chasing dreams, not causing harm,' Jain posted on X. He said the student appeared to be from Haryana and was heard shouting: 'I'm not crazy… they are hell bent to prove that I am crazy.' Jain, who tagged the Indian Embassy and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, alleged that such deportations were becoming alarmingly routine. 'Every day 3-4 such cases are happening,' he wrote, describing the student as 'disoriented and helpless.' Over 1,000 Indians deported in recent months As per India's Ministry of External Affairs, 1,080 Indian nationals have been deported from the US since the Trump administration returned to power earlier this year.

'Let's mediate Russia first, okay?': Trump opposes Putin mediation in Israel-Iran conflict until Ukraine war ends
President Trump has made a U-turn on his stance over Russian President Vladimir Putin playing a mediating role in Iran-Israel conflict, saying that involvement from the Kremlin can only be accepted after Russia ends its war in Ukraine read more US President Donald Trump has made a U-turn on his stance over Russian President Vladimir Putin playing a mediating role in Iran-Israel conflict, saying that involvement from the Kremlin can only be accepted after Russia ends its war in Ukraine. Trump, who had previously expressed openness to Putin serving as a mediator in the West Asia crisis, changed course on Wednesday, emphasising that Moscow's role in Ukraine disqualifies it from brokering peace elsewhere. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'He actually offered to help mediate. I said, 'Do me a favor, mediate your own. Let's mediate Russia first, okay?'' Politico quoted Trump as telling reporters at the White House. 'I said, 'Vladimir, let's mediate Russia first, you can worry about this later,'' he added. Russia maintains a close alliance with Iran, a relationship strengthened by Tehran's supply of military drones used by Moscow in its war against Ukraine. In return, Iran has received Russian assistance with its civilian nuclear programme. At the same time, the Kremlin has preserved warm relations with Israel. Before 2022, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made frequent visits to Moscow, a dynamic that once positioned President Putin as a potential power broker in West Asia. 'I do not believe that Russia, which is now engaged in a high-intensity conflict and has decided not to respect the UN Charter for several years now, can be a mediator,' Politico quoted French President Emmanuel Macron as saying Sunday. President Trump is reportedly seriously considering supporting a US military role in Israel's ongoing assault on Iran. The development comes as PM Netanyahu vowed to intensify strikes on Iran following a missile attack that hit an Israeli hospital Thursday morning. With inputs from agencies

‘You seriously think I will answer that?' Trump shuts down reporter on Iran strike question; mimics press asking details— Watch
. US President Donald Trump shut down a reporter on Wednesday who asked if America was preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. The reporter asked whether Trump believed the US was 'moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities' and followed up by asking: 'Where's your mindset on that?' Trump replied sharply, 'I can't say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question,' pointing out how unlikely it was that he would reveal any military plans. 'Will you strike Iran's nuclear sites? What time exactly, sir? Can you tell us so we can be there and watch?' — Trump said, mimicking the way reporters press him with questions. — bennyjohnson (@bennyjohnson) The question was raised during an event at the White House, where Trump had just unveiled two 100-foot flagpoles that he said were personally funded. Trump keeps options open Trump added that 'You don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know..I may do it. I may not do it. Nobody knows what I'm going to do.' He then shifted focus to Iran's leadership, blaming them for missing a chance to negotiate earlier. 'Iran's got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate. I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?' The exchange comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East, with reporters repeatedly pressing Trump on whether US military action against Iran was on the table. Trump has not given clear answers.
