Overview

• At a White House appearance with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump said he had “ended six wars” and again credited himself with halting India–Pakistan hostilities in May.
• Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar have stated the cessation followed direct DGMO contact and was not tied to trade incentives.
• Secretary of State Marco Rubio told NBC’s Meet the Press the United States watches India–Pakistan “every single day,” calling ceasefires hard to sustain and saying the goal is a durable peace deal.
• Pakistan has publicly given Washington credit for the truce, and reports say Army Chief Asim Munir nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after visits to the U.S.
• Independent reporting published Tuesday questions the administration’s broader claim of having “ended” multiple conflicts, noting ongoing violence such as in the DR Congo and highlighting earlier U.S. pushes for ceasefires.
