India-Pakistan Ceasefire Ends Escalation After US Mediation

After escalating military clashes between India and Pakistan, the two nations agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire following talks mediated by the United States, an achievement announced by President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform. The ceasefire came shortly after both countries launched missile strikes on each other's military bases amid heightened tensions triggered by a militant attack in Kashmir. President Trump was widely praised by his supporters and U.S. political figures, including the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, which declared him the "President of Peace" for his role in brokering the agreement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also instrumental in de-escalation efforts, maintaining communication with both governments during the negotiations. The ceasefire marks a significant pause in hostilities between the nuclear-armed neighbors, with Trump and his allies highlighting this as a demonstration of "peace through strength." This development contrasts with ongoing conflicts elsewhere, such as Russia's war in Ukraine, where Trump has pledged similar peace efforts.
