White House: Trump ended conflicts including India-Pakistan, deserves Nobel Peace Prize

According to the White House, Trump spoke directly with the acting Prime Minister of Thailand and the Prime Minister of Cambodia, warning that the US would not pursue any trade discussions or agreements unless the hostilities ended. “Almost immediately afterwards, peace was brokered,” Leavitt said.

The US President has repeatedly claimed that his administration helped negotiate a “full and immediate” ceasefire between India and Pakistan after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington.

Since his May 10 social media announcement, he has reiterated the claim nearly thirty times, stating that he helped settle tensions and promised “a lot of trade” if the nuclear-armed neighbours agreed to halt hostilities.

However, the Indian government has firmly rejected claims of any third-party intervention in the de-escalation of Operation Sindoor. In a discussion in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said there was no third-party intervention in the decision to halt military action against Pakistan.

Jaishankar also clarified that there were no phone calls between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Trump during the key phase of the operation.
