His visit included attending the retirement ceremony of US Commander Michael Kurilla \u2014 a gesture viewed as symbolic of deepening military-to-military ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Systematic strategy wins Trump\u2019s trust<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Financial Times noted that Pakistan\u2019s senior military leadership adopted a systematic approach to win the confidence of US President Donald Trump and other influential figures in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paper said this \u201cunusual diplomatic strategy\u201d not only helped to improve ties but also reshaped the regional political landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report added that India has suffered a serious diplomatic setback as Washington shows an increasing tilt towards Islamabad, especially in the wake of recent Pak-India tensions.
