According to the Pakistani authorities, as quoted by Reuters, it was due to the American intervention that an unexpected ceasefire took place in May between Pakistan and India, 2 atomic states, which for 4 days carried out an exchange of fire. Trump himself praised this accomplishment many times, claiming that he "saved millions of lives" and "no 1 thanked him for it."
"President Trump demonstrated a large strategical foresight and prominent leadership in diplomatic talks with Islamabad and fresh Delhi, which prevented the escalation of the conflict. This is an intervention that confirms his function as a actual advocate of peace" – we read in the authoritative message of the Pakistani authorities.
Trump nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The conflict between India and Pakistan
While Pakistan credits Trump, India claims that the ceasefire was the consequence of an agreement solely between the armed forces of both countries. The government in fresh Delhi has not yet commented on the Pakistani declaration, and the American side has besides not issued an authoritative position on this issue.
In the past, Trump expressed his desire to mediate the disputed Kashmir region, which was met with the enthusiasm of Pakistan, but with the fierce reaction of India, which powerfully rejects the anticipation of any external mediation.
The Nobel nomination was announced in the same week, in which the commander-in-chief of the Pakistani army, Marshal Asim Munir, met with Donald Trump at lunch at the White home – which was an unprecedented event, given that Pakistan is presently governed by the civilian government.
Trump's planned conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G7 summit in Canada did not take place due to Trump's earlier departure. Later, leaders spoke on the telephone – according to a message from the Indian government, Modi was then to state that "India does not accept and will never accept mediation" about the conflict with Pakistan.
Former president of the legislature Defence Commission in Pakistan, Mushahid Hussain, stated that Trump's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize was full justified. Trump is good for Pakistan. And if you gotta tickle his ego, that's fine. All European leaders are sucking up to him anyway," he said, quoted by Reuters.
However, not all in Pakistan support this move. Trump critics match his unequivocal support for Israeli actions in Gaza and his anti-Iran rhetoric.
"Daddy of Israel (Sugar Daddy – ng.) and cheerleader attacks on Iran should not be a candidate for any peace prize. What if in a fewer months Modi starts kissing both cheeks again? – commented writer Talat Hussain on X.
