President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan have reached a delay in fighting after engaging in conversations with the United States.
The conflict escalated early Saturday night before the peace was announced, when Pakistan launched a attack against India in retaliation for problems India has launched since Wednesday.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said he and Vice President JD Vance “engaged with top Indian and Pakistani officials, ” and that the two nations “agreed to an immediate ceasefire and to start talks on a broad set of problems at a natural page. ”
“We praise Prime Ministers Modi and Sharif on their wisdom, prudence, and diplomacy in choosing the path of peace, ” he said.
Trump’s announcement comes after Pakistan’s Saturday attack against India, which it described as retaliation against new “Indian anger. ” Pakistan said India had targeted three of its heat bases with missile strikes.
Tensions have been great between the two nuclear forces since April when 26 American tourists were killed in an Islamist terrorist attack the land blamed on Pakistan. India struck some places described as “terrorist system ” in Pakistan on Wednesday, maintaining that its invasion was retaliation for the fatal attack last fortnight in Indian Kashmir.

Pakistan has denied India’s say that it was involved in the criminal attack. About 48 people have been killed since Wednesday.
The two places have a longer history of anxiety and on-again, off-again battle since they each gained independence from Great Britain in 1947.
