Trump touts the truce as his ‘greater achievement’ and promises to promote trade with Pakistan.

Washington (Politico.pk) – US President Donald Trump highlighted his participation in de-escalating tensions between Pakistan and India as a huge diplomatic triumph, claiming that assisting both countries in reaching a truce is a “bigger success” to his credit.

In an interview with Fox News, the president said, “A bigger success than I’ll ever be credited for.” They are significant nuclear powers. “Those are not like a little bit, and they are angry.”

“It was growing deeper and there were more rockets. Everyone was stronger, to the point where the next one would be, you know what, the N-word,” Trump said, adding that neighboring nations were “very near” to hazardous escalation. He stated that now both parties are pleased.

Trump also recognized Pakistanis’ brains and tremendous capacity to manufacture remarkable items, implying that economic connections will be expanded when he added, “We will trade”.

The president admitted that the US has explored commerce with Pakistan. He mentioned that the South Asian countries also wanted to improve its trading connections with the United States.

At one point, he expressed surprise that, despite having strong ties with Pakistan, the United States did not conduct much commerce with the country.

Speaking about diplomacy, Trump stated that he has directed his people to contact Pakistan and India to begin trade and discussions. Trump stated that both sides were informed that “we will expand trade significantly.”

The US president declared that he was utilizing commerce to stop wars and promote peace, adding, “He is a person who keeps his promises.”

Criticising Indian policy, he stated that India has the world’s highest tariffs, making it practically hard for outsiders to do business. However, Trump stated that India is now willing to lower tariffs in its commerce with the United States by 100 percent.

The US supports direct dialogue.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the US supports direct engagement between India and Pakistan and encourages ongoing efforts to strengthen relations between the two countries.

In a phone call with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, the US Secretary of State highlighted tensions between India and Pakistan.

Both presidents emphasized the significance of preserving a cease-fire and keeping communication channels open between the South Asian neighbors.
