May 10, 2025 — In a major diplomatic development, former U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced via social media that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire following a night of high-level talks mediated by the United States.
Trump made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“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. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The surprise statement has sparked global attention, with leaders and commentators reacting swiftly to the news. While official confirmations from New Delhi and Islamabad are still expected, early indications suggest a mutual understanding was reached to de-escalate ongoing tensions along the border.
This marks one of the most significant developments in South Asian diplomacy in recent years and is being closely watched by international observers.
Trump’s involvement, and his claim that the U.S. played a key mediating role, adds another dimension to the announcement as global leaders assess its implications for regional peace and U.S. foreign policy influence.
