US President Donald Trump was the first leader today to announce nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire. Minutes later, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed the ceasefire.
“The Director Generals of Military Operations of both countries spoke at 15.35 pm and they will stop all action in land, sea and air. The next talks will be on May 12,” Mr Misri said.
However, just yesterday, US Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that the India-Pakistan conflict was “fundamentally none of our business,” though he and Trump had been encouraging the two neighbours to de-escalate.
