Overview
- At Sharm el-Sheikh, President Trump signed a framework formalizing the Gaza ceasefire co-hosted with Egypt’s president.
- Officials and media at the summit reported completion of the first-phase exchanges, with 20 Israeli hostages freed and about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners released.
- Trump again asserted that tariff threats ended the May India–Pakistan confrontation in 24 hours, a claim India rejects, saying the pause followed direct DGMO-level talks without U.S. mediation.
- On stage, Trump praised India and its leadership and said he believes India and Pakistan will "live very nicely together," before inviting Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif to address delegates.
- Sharif lauded Trump as a peacemaker, said Pakistan had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, and Trump signaled he would next turn to Pakistan–Afghanistan tensions after the Middle East trip.
