This recent visit of Imran Khan was an explosion over the internet. As Khan was stepping on US soil, #khanmeetstrump was top trending not only in Pakistan or US, but across the globe. Maybe Trump’s controversial personality, new Pakistani leader and Pakistan’s strategic placement had a great role in this.

Many things came into  discussion during Khan’s visit to US. How the two counterparts greeted each other, what their body language looked like, how were the questions answered, how was their dressing etc.
