External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has firmly dismissed any speculation that US President Donald Trump had a hand in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan to end Operation Sindoor.
“There was no call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump between April 22 (the Pahalgam attack) and June 17 (the ceasefire)... and at no stage was there any link between trade and what was going on…” Jaishankar stated on Monday evening during a heated parliamentary debate on Operation Sindoor.
Trump’s claims on ceasefire mediation rejected
Jaishankar’s remarks come in response to President Trump’s assertion that he persuaded Delhi and Islamabad to halt escalating tensions following missile strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Previously, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi had said Trump had claimed on 26 occasions that he used trade deals to bring about the ceasefire.
