US President Donald Trump's assertion that he facilitated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan during a recent conflict has led to diplomatic tensions. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified in a call with Trump that the ceasefire was achieved by direct talks between the Indian and Pakistani military leaders, refuting claims of US involvement. Modi emphasized India's historical stance against mediation. The two leaders' personal rapport is overshadowed by concerns over Trump's unpredictable approach and its impact on ongoing trade negotiations between the nations.
Prime Minister Modi emphasised that India has not accepted mediation in the past and never will.
But, when the US president repeatedly and publicly claims an outsized role in mediating the recent India-Pakistan conflict, expect public corrections from India.
