Trump says India, Pakistan agree to ‘full and immediate’ cease-fire after ‘long night of talks’ mediated by US
SUMMARY
President Trump announced Saturday that India and Pakistan have agreed to a “FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE” after a “long night of talks” mediated by the U.S.—a major diplomatic win that could defuse one of the world’s most volatile conflicts. “Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” The breakthrough follows weeks of rising tensions after a Pakistan-based terror group murdered 25 tourists and a local Muslim in a brutal Kashmir attack. Strikes and border clashes erupted, risking full-blown war between two nuclear powers. Vice President JD Vance happened to be in India when the violence began and had cautioned against U.S. military involvement, instead pushing for peaceful resolution. India and Pakistan exchanged fire as recently as May 9, but thanks to Trump’s backchannel diplomacy, both sides have now agreed to stand down.
