Donald Trump Offers to Mediate Between India and Pakistan, Urges Peace
US President Donald Trump has offered to help India and Pakistan resolve their ongoing conflict and has urged for peace between the two countries.
US President Donald Trump has offered to help India and Pakistan amid rising tensions between the two countries, stating his desire for the escalating conflict to stop. Trump expressed his wish for India and Pakistan to work out their differences and halt the ongoing hostilities. He emphasized his good relationships with both countries and his willingness to assist in any way possible to bring about peace.
India conducted precision strikes on terrorist bases in Pakistan following a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 26 people in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam district. Trump's comments come in the wake of Operation Sindoor, where Indian armed forces targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir in a precise and restrained response to the barbaric attack in Pahalgam. The Indian government described the strikes as a calibrated and non-escalatory approach in dealing with the situation.
The Indian strike follows a series of punitive measures taken by New Delhi against Islamabad, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, the closure of the Attari border crossing, and the downgrading of diplomatic ties after the terror attack. Trump's offer to mediate and his call for peace signal a potential diplomatic intervention to ease tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
