Overview
- Speaking aboard Air Force One and later in the Knesset, President Donald Trump called the Gaza ceasefire his eighth conflict resolved and declared the war over.
- Trump said he threatened tariffs of 100% to 200% on both India and Pakistan and claimed that pressure ended their confrontation within 24 hours.
- India’s government has repeatedly denied any U.S. role, saying the May 10 ceasefire followed direct DGMO talks after Operation Sindoor and was unrelated to trade or tariffs.
- Trump said he would address rising Pakistan–Afghanistan tensions after returning from the Middle East, as reports described deadly border clashes and the closure of key crossings.
- The president is addressing Israel’s Knesset and then co-chairing a summit in Sharm el‑Sheikh to cement the ceasefire and hostage-release framework, while insisting his efforts are about saving lives, not winning the Nobel Prize.
