Former Pentagon Official: Trade Never Came Up In India-Pakistan Ceasefire Talks

A former Pentagon official has refuted US President Donald Trump’s claims about brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan through trade talks. The official stated that trade was not discussed and that Pakistan sought a ceasefire after India’s successful military operations. Trump’s statements about using trade to stop escalating violence have been dismissed as unfounded. India has already rejected Trump’s claims of being a mediator in the situation.
