“My greatest hope is to be a peacemaker and to be a unifier. I do not like war,” Trump said during his address.
Trump highlights trade as the key
Trump revealed that trade played a major role in his strategy to ease tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. He shared, “Just days ago, my administration successfully brokered a historic ceasefire to stop the escalating violence between India and Pakistan. I used trade to a large extent. I said let’s make a deal, let’s do some trading. Let’s not trade nuclear missiles, let’s trade the things you make so beautifully.”
No official confirmation yet
While Trump has made such claims, there has been no official confirmation from either the Indian or Pakistani governments regarding a ceasefire mediated by the United States. However, his remarks have sparked renewed interest in diplomatic efforts to ease cross-border tensions.
