During a recent conversation, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified to US President Donald Trump that the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, established in May, happened without US mediation, contrary to Trump's assertions. Modi emphasized that the talks occurred directly between the two nations' militaries at Pakistan's request. The discussion, which followed condolences for a civilian attack in Kashmir, was significant as Modi reiterated India's stance against third-party mediation. Trump acknowledged Modi's points and expressed support for counter-terrorism efforts, while Modi's firm stance highlights India's diplomatic position in South Asia.
PM Modi told President Trump, in clear terms, that there was no talk of an India-US trade deal or any US mediation at any point during the time frame between the April 22 attack and the ceasefire on May 10.
PM Modi strongly emphasized that India has never accepted third-party mediation and nor will it in the future.
The US President understood the points put forward by Modi during the 35-minute conversation and extended his support to counter terrorism.
Trump has claimed several times that the hostilities ceased after he urged the leaders to focus on a trade deal with the US.
