The Afghan Eye

Pakistan, Trump, and the Road to the Afghanistan–Pakistan War

The Afghan Eye Season 2 Episode 15

In this Afghan Eye Podcast, journalist Ali Mustafa joins Sangar Paykhar to explain how Pakistan’s military courted Donald Trump and how that diplomacy helped set the stage for today’s looming conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan. 

Mustafa, a seasoned international journalist who has covered the Global War on Terror, reveals how Pakistan’s generals flattered and influenced Trump, shaping Washington’s Afghanistan. 

As tensions now rise along the Durand Line, this conversation explores how the legacy of those years continues to define the region’s fragile peace and why another war may be closer than many think.
