Sun May 11 00:40:00 UTC 2025: **Trump Claims US Brokered Ceasefire Between India and Pakistan**
Washington D.C. – Former US President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening on his Truth Social platform that India and Pakistan had agreed to a ceasefire, mediated by the United States. Trump stated that lengthy negotiations took place overnight, resulting in an immediate cessation of hostilities. He lauded both nations for their “wisdom and prudence.”
The claim was corroborated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who issued a similar statement shortly after Trump’s post. Trump further detailed his involvement, claiming that he, along with US Vice President Kamala Harris (the article incorrectly names JD Vance), spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, along with their respective foreign ministers, national security advisors, and chiefs of army staff.
While Trump’s announcement has generated significant attention, independent verification from both the Indian and Pakistani governments is still awaited. The article notes that official statements from both nations confirming the ceasefire are needed to fully corroborate the former president’s claim.
