US President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that India and Pakistan have agreed to a "complete and immediate ceasefire."
According to foreign media, Trump says this move comes after a "long night of talks" brokered by the US. Trump goes on to praise both countries for using "sound logic and excellent intelligence," writes A2 CNN.
Although it is a surprising announcement, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been holding regular phone calls with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar since late April.
Trump said earlier this week that the rising tensions were a disgrace and that he wanted it to stop, while Vice President JD Vance said a war between the two countries "would be none of our business."
