India Pakistan Ceasefire: Hours after a phone conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump once again claimed that he had stopped the war between India and Pakistan. In a conversation with journalists, Trump described Modi as a ‘magnificent person’ and said that there will be a trade agreement between the two countries.
The US President said on Wednesday, “I have stopped the war. I like Pakistan. I think Modi is a great person. I talked to him last night. We are going to make a trade agreement with Modi of India, but I have stopped the war between Pakistan and India.
Trump is hosting the lunch of Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir at the White House. He was asked what he is expecting to get diplomatically from the meeting with the Pakistani General. Referring to Munir, Trump said, “This person had a lot of influence in stopping it (war) from Pakistan.”
He said, “There were Modi and others from India. There was a tremendous situation of confrontation between them and both of them are nuclear -rich countries. I stopped it. I don’t think I was telling a story. Did I write a story … I stopped the war between two big countries, big nuclear -rich countries. ”
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that in a conversation with Trump on the phone on Tuesday for about 35 minutes, Modi clearly said that India does not accept arbitration and will ‘never accept’. He said that negotiations between India and Pakistan forces started on stopping military action on the request of Islamabad.
The ceasefire between India and Pakistan was first announced by the US President on 10 May. Since then, Trump has been claiming that he meditated in the ceasefire agreement by threatening to stop trade with the two countries if he did not agree to stop the struggle.
Sources in the Indian government in Delhi said that it was agreed to stop all kinds of shelling and military actions on the land, air and sea between the Director General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan. He said that no third party was included in it.
Trump claimed on social media on May 10 that India and Pakistan had agreed to “complete and immediate” ceasefire after a long talk in Washington’s mediation. He has reiterated more than a dozen times that he has helped reduce tension between India and Pakistan. Trump said that he told the nuclear weapon -rich South Asian neighbors that if they stop the struggle, America would do ‘too much business’ with them.
