US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed that the United States “got involved directly” to end the recent military conflict between India and Pakistan, crediting President Donald Trump for brokering peace. In an interview with EWTN’s The World Over, Rubio called Trump the “president of peace” and cited similar interventions in global conflicts including Cambodia-Thailand and DRC-Rwanda. India, however, firmly rejected the claim, stating that the ceasefire was achieved through direct military-level talks between the two nations without foreign mediation. Analysts suggest that Washington’s recent tariff hike on Indian exports may be linked to New Delhi’s refusal to endorse Trump’s narrative. India maintains its position, emphasizing sovereign decision-making in defense matters. (PC: News 18, Mint & India Today)
