“I am very proud of the strong and unwaveringly powerful leadership of India and Pakistan for having the strength, wisdom, and fortitude to fully know and understand that it was time to stop the current aggression that could have led to the death and destruction of so many, and so much,” Trump wrote.
“Millions of good and innocent people could have died! Your legacy is greatly enhanced by your brave actions,” he added.
Trump also credited the United States for its role in supporting the peace effort. “I am proud that the USA was able to help you arrive at this historic and heroic decision,” he said.
While he acknowledged that Kashmir was not part of the immediate discussions, Trump said he intended to work with both nations on the long-standing territorial dispute. “I will work with you both to see if, after a ‘thousand years,’ a solution can be arrived at concerning Kashmir,” he said. “God Bless the leadership of India and Pakistan on a job well done!!!”
Trump also reiterated plans to “increase trade substantially” with both India and Pakistan, calling them “great Nations.”
Yesterday, Pakistan and India agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States in a dramatic turn of events preventing a wider conflict between the two nuclear armed neighbours.
However, within hours of the agreement, the Indian foreign secretary accused Pakistan for violating the ceasefire. The Foreign Office late night issued a statement and rejected Indian allegations, saying Pakistan was committed to the ceasefire agreement.
“Pakistan remains committed to faithful implementation of ceasefire between Pakistan and India, announced earlier today,” the FO said.
