Trump Announces India-Pakistan Ceasefire Agreement Following U.S. Mediation

On May 10, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan have agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire” following an intensive round of overnight negotiations mediated by the United States.

In a post on his official Truth Social account, President Trump stated: “After a long night of negotiations brokered by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both nations for showing common sense and a high level of reason. Thank you for your attention to this important matter!”

The announcement comes amid a sharp rise in military tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, following deadly attacks and cross-border strikes in recent weeks. Trump’s intervention, viewed as a high-stakes diplomatic maneuver, appears to have averted further escalation.

Details regarding the terms of the ceasefire have not yet been disclosed, but initial reactions from both governments signal cautious optimism. Regional and international leaders have welcomed the development and praised the U.S. for its successful mediation.

Observers note that this marks one of the most significant diplomatic achievements of Trump’s current term, potentially resetting the tone of South Asian geopolitics.
