US President Donald Trump has welcomed the Pakistan-Saudi Arabia-Türkiye defence pact, describing it as a “bold and important first step.”
Trump said the Makkah accord demonstrated how countries could strengthen their ability to defend themselves through closer security cooperation.
The agreement brings Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye closer on defence matters and is aimed at enhancing coordination and regional security.
Trump’s remarks highlight the broader international attention surrounding the pact as the three countries seek to deepen strategic and defence ties.
The agreement is expected to remain a significant development in regional security, particularly amid ongoing tensions and shifting alliances across the Middle East and South Asia.
