BREAKING: United States Mediates “FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE” Between Fighting Nations, President Trump Announces

President Trump announced that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.

“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 stated.

“Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.

CBS News reports:

The ceasefire follows weeks of clashes that were triggered by a gun massacre on tourists last month that India blames Pakistan for. It was their most serious confrontation in decades and left dozens of civilians dead on both sides.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he and Vice President JD Vance engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, including Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif, to discuss the ceasefire and to “start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site.”

“We commend Prime Ministers Modi and Sharif on their wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace,” he said.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced the ceasefire on Geo News. He said Saudi Arabia and Turkey played an important role in facilitating the deal.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said in a quick press briefing on Saturday that the two sides agreed to “stop all firing and military action from land, air and sea” starting at 5 p.m. local time.

“Over the past 48 hours, @VP Vance and I have engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, including Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif, External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, and National Security Advisors Ajit Doval and Asim Malik,” Rubio said.

Per CNN:

A Pakistani government source familiar with the negotiations that led to a truce with India said that the United States played a crucial role in them.

The agreement came after an intense day of fighting that left both sides fearing the tit-for-tat strikes could spiral out of control, the source told CNN, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

The source said both sides were progressing toward an agreement on Friday, but said that Islamabad was blindsided by New Delhi’s targeting three Pakistani air bases with air-to-surface missiles early Saturday morning local time.

Pakistan’s government believed that a diplomatic off-ramp had been close and was shocked by the strikes, the source said.

In response, Pakistan fired back a much bigger salvo that targeted air bases in India, as well as military targets near the line of control in the disputed Kashmir region. “An eye for an eye,” the Pakistani military said in a statement Saturday morning.

The source said that New Delhi had been shocked by the scale of Pakistan’s response, and that both sides then “got serious” about engaging in peace talks later Saturday.

Even as the talks kicked into high gear, the source said India fired more rockets, with Pakistan responding. But US assurances meant that the talks continued, the source added.
