The moment military conflict broke out between India and Pakistan, the United States got directly involved, and President Donald Trump managed to bring peace between the two neighbours. These remarks were made by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as he highlighted Trump’s commitment to bringing peace to the world, during an interview with a media outlet.
“Trump is committed to peace and being the president of peace. And so, we saw when India and Pakistan went to war, we got involved directly, and the president was able to deliver on that peace,” Rubio said.
Since May 10, Trump has repeated his claim many times that he “helped settle” the tensions between India and Pakistan and told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America will do a “lot of trade” with them if they stop the conflict. On the other hand, New Delhi has consistently defied the claims of the US president, maintaining the stance that the ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries.
"Cambodia and Thailand more recently; Azerbaijan and Armenia, hopefully…DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)-Rwanda – a 30-year war, 7 million people killed – we were able to bring them here to sign it," Rubio asserted.
He added that the US was proud of those initiatives and “we’re looking for more — obviously, the big one being in Ukraine and Russia. We dedicate a significant amount of time to stopping and ending wars."
