In a surprising development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that he has held talks with both India and Pakistan amid the recent escalation of cross-border tensions. Taking to his official social media platform, Trump posted that the two nations have agreed to a ceasefire following his intervention.
The post, which quickly went viral, stated:
“Just spoke to leaders in India and Pakistan. Both countries have agreed to a ceasefire. Peace is always the best path forward. Proud to help.”
Trump did not disclose specific details of the conversations or confirm which officials he had spoken to. However, his claim sparked widespread speculation and mixed reactions across global diplomatic and defense circles.
There has been no official confirmation yet from either the Indian or Pakistani governments regarding the ceasefire or Trump’s involvement in diplomatic outreach. Indian officials have so far maintained a firm stance on national security, with the Ministry of External Affairs yet to respond to Trump’s statement.
This is not the first time Trump has made bold claims about mediating in the India-Pakistan conflict. During his presidency, he repeatedly offered to mediate between the two countries, though India had consistently emphasized that such matters were bilateral.
The timing of Trump’s post is significant, as tensions at the Line of Control (LoC) have seen increased military activity in recent days, including drone sightings, shelling incidents, and heightened alert levels on both sides.
Global observers are now watching closely to see whether any official ceasefire agreement follows or if Trump’s post is a personal diplomatic overture without formal backing.
