U.S. President Donald Trump, claimed that he brokered peace between India and Pakistan, using trade as leverage. His comments have drawn a sharp rebuttal from India, which has made it clear that the ceasefire was the result of India’s own strategic and military actions, not U.S. intervention. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated India’s position that Kashmir is not up for discussion and that any dialogue with Pakistan must focus solely on terrorism and the return of PoK. India has asserted that no foreign power played a role in pushing for peace, and that strong military action led to Pakistan seeking a ceasefire. In a high-stakes diplomatic setting, India reaffirmed its sovereignty, zero-tolerance to terror, and self-reliant diplomacy.
