The Trump Administration was reportedly instrumental in de-escalating rising tensions between India and Pakistan over the weekend, with Trump praising Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance for their efforts in disarming the early conflict.
Trump shared the following on TRUTH Social.
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 lead to to the death and destruction of so many, and so much. Millions of good and innocent people could have died! Your legacy is greatly enhanced by your brave actions. I am proud that the USA was able to help you arrive at this historic and heroic decision.
