In the wake of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan, President Donald Trump has extended an offer to assist both nations in resolving the long-standing Kashmir conflict. Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump expressed his willingness to work with both countries to achieve a solution, referencing the historical tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

The Kashmir region has been a flashpoint since the partition of British India in 1947, leading to multiple wars and ongoing disputes. While Pakistan welcomed Trump’s offer, emphasizing the need for a resolution in line with United Nations Security Council resolutions and the rights of the Kashmiri people, India has traditionally opposed third-party mediation and has not publicly responded to the proposal.

The recent ceasefire was initiated following a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, which India attributed to Pakistan-based groups—a claim Pakistan denies. Trump took credit for facilitating the ceasefire and indicated plans to increase trade with both nations, although no specific details were provided.
