The president-elects approach to the diplomatic drama offers little relief. Trumps team has not confirmed whether he used the phrasing the Pakistanis published. Its statement on the call is significantly different, describing a strong working relationship in the future and a personal relationship between Trump and Sharif.
Its puzzling that the statements suggest Trump is keen to connect with Sharif, a relatively low-profile prime minister whose administration has had little real impact. That raises the question of whether the inexperienced president-elect may have believed he was speaking with recently retired army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif, a towering figure who has many fans in the U.S. military.
