Pakistan’s PM Thanks Trump for Backing Mecca Defense Pact

Pakistan’s Prime Minister has welcomed US President Donald Trump’s public support for a new defense agreement between Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Trump said the pact shows “how countries will finally be able to defend themselves in a more meaningful way.” He made the comments in a message that the Pakistani leader called “words of support.” The prime minister’s office did not give further details on the agreement’s scope. However, officials in the region view the alliance as a step toward stronger military cooperation among the three Muslim-majority nations. The deal, named after the holy city of Mecca, is seen as a signal of shifting security alliances in the Middle East and South Asia. No timeline for implementation has been announced.
