U.S. President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan have reached a full and immediate ceasefire, following days of heightened tensions and cross-border hostilities. The breakthrough comes after intensive U.S.-mediated negotiations, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who engaged with senior officials from both nations to encourage de-escalation.

The ceasefire was declared after the Pahalgam terror attack, which tragically took 26 lives, mostly tourists, triggering a wave of security concerns and diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.

Trump praised the agreement on his Truth Social platform, stating, “Congratulations to both countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence.” His announcement was echoed by Rubio, who emphasized the importance of stability in the region.
This development marks a significant moment in South Asian diplomacy, with hopes that it will lead to further peaceful resolutions and long-term cooperation between India and Pakistan.
