British newspaper The Guardian has said that only Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif knows how to handle US President Donald Trump. The report highlighted an incident at the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, where Trump reportedly unsettled several world leaders with his remarks. However, Shehbaz Sharif remained calm, confident, and skillfully managed the situation.
According to The Guardian, Trump made inappropriate comments about several leaders during the event. He complimented Italy’s Prime Minister on her beauty, joked about the UAE Vice President’s wealth, and embarrassed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer by interrupting him mid-conversation. Trump also teased Hungary’s president and mocked Canada’s Prime Minister for being called “President” instead of “Governor.”
