Trump Announces Ceasefire Agreement Between India and Pakistan: Reactions Mixed

Donald Trump announced a comprehensive ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan over the weekend, sparking mixed reactions from both sides. While some officials welcomed the move to ease tensions in the region, Indian leaders were reportedly taken aback by the announcement, particularly as it overshadowed Prime Minister Modi’s efforts in addressing the Kashmir territorial dispute through bilateral negotiations. The U.S.’s direct involvement in brokering this deal has also drawn concern in New Delhi, which views this approach as potentially eroding India’s long-standing policy of negotiating solutions for the Kashmir conflict on its own terms.
