U.S. President Donald Trump has praised the strong and unwavering leadership of Pakistan and India, saying that without a timely ceasefire, the region could have faced large-scale destruction and massive loss of life.
In a statement released on social media, Trump said:
“I am proud of the powerful, steady leadership of both India and Pakistan. Their courage, wisdom, and understanding prevented a disastrous war.”
He emphasized that had the ceasefire not been reached, millions of innocent lives could have been lost, and added:
“Your brave actions have positively shaped your legacy. I am proud that the United States assisted in reaching this historic decision.”
