U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire following U.S.-mediated talks. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions between the two neighboring countries, which have recently exchanged strikes against each other’s military installations.
“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. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The agreement aims to de-escalate the situation in the region, which has been marked by increasing military actions over recent weeks. The United States played a key role in facilitating the negotiations between the two nuclear-armed nations.
The conflict between India and Pakistan has long-standing roots, with disputes over territories and mutual accusations of supporting militant activities. The recent escalations raised international concerns about stability in South Asia.
The ceasefire is expected to halt ongoing military operations and open avenues for diplomatic dialogue. Observers hope that this agreement will lead to sustained peace efforts and improved relations between India and Pakistan.
