US President Donald Trump on Saturday said India and Pakistan have agreed to a "full and immediate ceasefire" after mediation by America. The US said the warring nations, who have exchanged fire over the past three days, would start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site.
"After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. Congratulations to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence," Trump posted on Truth Social.
The post was also shared by US Vice President JD Vance, who earlier said America wouldn't get involved in a war that's "fundamentally none of our business".
