Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan met President Donald J. Trump at the White House on Sept. 25 in a tightly managed Oval Office encounter, a rare moment of face-to-face diplomacy that underscored efforts by both governments to recalibrate a relationship strained for much of the past decade.

Sharif, 74, was accompanied by Pakistan’s powerful military chief, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. The pair were greeted at the West Executive Avenue entrance before being escorted into the Oval Office.
