WASHINGTON –The US brokered a “full and immediate ceasefire” between Pakistan and India, President Trump announced Saturday, a move expected to end the violence which recently erupted in the Kashmir region.
“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!”
Tensions between the two countries had escalated in recent days, sending missiles and drones into areas not hit in decades.
Trump’s announcement comes after Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that the US 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.
