State Department Affirms Trump’s Role in Pakistan-India Ceasefire

Tammy Bruce, a spokesperson for the US State Department, has reiterated that former President Donald Trump, along with key figures from his administration, played an active role in mediating a ceasefire between Pakistan and India back in May.

Appearing to challenge assertions from New Delhi, Bruce stated, “The remarks really speak for themselves. The beauty of today’s world is transparency—people can witness events firsthand, reducing dependence on commentary to understand what transpired.”

While President Trump has consistently claimed to have facilitated the Pakistan-India ceasefire, the Indian government has continuously denied any US involvement in the process.

“Everyone is entitled to their viewpoint. These are simply opinions. Some opinions are incorrect, mine seldom are. However, others’ perspectives can be inaccurate,” Bruce commented during a State Department press briefing in Washington.

She also emphasized the swift advancement of technology, which allows news consumption on smartphones and similar devices, thereby promoting greater understanding of global issues.

“The rapid pace of technological evolution reminds many of us of the speed of change, the abundance of information available, and the importance of independent judgment regarding global issues,” she added.

“Donald Trump is dedicated to simplifying this process and leveraging technology to enhance clarity.”
Last month saw military clashes between Pakistan and India, which were triggered by the Pahalgam attack in IIOJK in April.

In response to what it deemed Indian aggression, Pakistan’s military initiated a large-scale retaliatory operation named “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos,” targeting various Indian military sites across different regions.

Pakistan claimed to have shot down six Indian fighter jets, including three Rafales, along with multiple drones. The conflict concluded after approximately 87 hours on May 10, with a ceasefire agreement reportedly brokered by the US.

The ceasefire was initially announced by then-President Donald Trump on social media after discussions between Washington and both nations. However, India disputes Trump’s assertions that the agreement resulted from his intervention and threats to end trade negotiations.

Conversely, Pakistan has recognized Trump’s contributions and has formally nominated him for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing his efforts in de-escalating tensions between Pakistan and India the previous month.
