(German Ambassador at Islamabad Policy Research Institute-1st June 26)
Met with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 and thanked him for the role Pakistan continues to play in advancing peace in the Middle East. We agreed upon the importance of working together to further strengthen a meaningful partnership for better security and more prosperity for our two nations.
@LindseyGrahamSC We not only "don't trust Israel," we also condemn this rogue state in the harshest terms for its pogroms of ethnic cleansing and mass murder.
Recognize Palestinian Statehood with Jerusalem as its capital, and then we can talk.
President Trump’s statements may seem shocking, but they should be read carefully, not emotionally. His posts suggest a broader regional framework involving Iran, Gulf security, maritime stability, and possible expansion of the Abraham Accords—but social media speculation should not be confused with official policy.
Also, there should be no mistake about Pakistan. Pakistan supports regional peace, de-escalation, and constructive diplomacy with Iran. At the same time, Pakistan’s position on Palestine remains clear and historically consistent: durable peace in the Middle East cannot bypass Palestinian statehood and Al-Quds as its capital.
Islamabad’s priority should be strategic balance, engaging all sides while avoiding entanglement in regional polarisation.
Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
