President Donald Trump has announced a “full immediate ceasefire” between Pakistan and India.
On Saturday, the president announced the cease fire in a post on his Truth Social.
“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE,” Trump wrote in a morning Truth Social post.
“Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Trump’s statement comes two days after Vice President JD Vance that the U.S. does not want to get involved in the conflict.
“What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we’re not going to get involved in the middle of a war that’s fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America’s ability to control it,” Vance had said on Fox News.
India launched a major military operation against Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir, a region administered by Pakistan as a nominally self-governing entity that constitutes the western portion of the Kashmir region on Tuesday.
Indian officials noted that the reason for the attacks was to weaken areas of “terrorist infrastructure” after men with firearms massacred 26 tourists in Pahalgam, in Indian-controlled Kashmir, last month. Many have called it “the deadliest assault” on Indian civilians in recent years. Nonetheless, Pakistan claimed that they had held no responsibility in the murderous rampage.
