U.S. Played Key Role Brokering India/Pakistan Ceasefire

This is one of those rare occasions where the Trump administration acted admirably.
The administration was deeply involved in the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan.

"India and Pakistan have fought three major wars and been at loggerheads since their independence.
The spark for the latest chaos was an April 22 attack in Indian Kashmir that killed 26 people, most of them tourists. New Delhi blamed the incident on 'terrorists' backed by Pakistan, a charge denied by Islamabad."

"Senior U.S. officials became seriously concerned by Friday, May 9 that the conflict was at risk of spiralling out of control, according to two sources familiar with the matter. That evening, Modi took a call from Vice President J.D. Vance, who presented a potential off-ramp to the Indian prime minister that he described as a path the Pakistanis would also be amenable to, the people said."

"The international intervention anchored by Rubio paved the way to a cessation of hostilities formalized in a mid-afternoon phone call between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan."
