India's Modi denies third party brokered peace with Pakistan
The South Asian rivals fought an intense four-day conflict in May that left more than 70 people dead on both sides before Trump announced a ceasefire between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
'No world leader asked us to stop the operation,' Modi told parliament during a debate on 'Operation Sindoor,' the military campaign launched against Pakistan in May.
Modi did not name Trump in his speech.
The Indian prime minister also claimed that it was Pakistan that pleaded with India to stop fighting after feeling the 'heat of our attacks.'
The conflict was sparked by an April attack on tourists by gunmen in Indian-administered Kashmir that left 26 men dead, mostly Hindus.
India accused Pakistan of backing the attackers, a charge Islamabad denied.
Trump has claimed numerous times that he brokered peace between the rivals, including most recently on Monday.
'If I weren't around, you'd have, right now, six major wars going on. India would be fighting with Pakistan,' Trump said during his visit to Scotland.
Modi's assertion came after Rahul Gandhi from the opposition Congress party challenged the premier to say 'inside the parliament that Donald Trump is lying.'
Earlier Tuesday, home minister Amit Shah told lawmakers that three Pakistani gunmen involved in the attack in Indian-administered Kashmir were killed during a military operation on Monday.
Shah told parliament that all three were Pakistani nationals and identified two of them as members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a UN-designated terrorist group based in Pakistan.
Muslim-majority Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence from British rule in 1947, and the neighbors — who both claim the region in full — have fought two wars and several conflicts over its control.
The fighting in May brought the rivals close to another war, but Trump announced a ceasefire between them before the two countries did.
Soon, opposition parties in India started raising questions about third-party mediation between the foes, a claim New Delhi has always denied.

Russia confirms Putin-Trump summit Aug. 15 in Alaska
MOSCOW — Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov confirmed Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump will meet on Aug. 15 in the U.S. state of Alaska to discuss options for achieving lasting peace in Ukraine. Ushakov highlighted the logistical advantages of Alaska as the summit venue, citing its proximity to Russia across the Bering Strait. 'The American side has just announced an agreement reached to arrange a meeting between the presidents of Russia and the U.S., Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, on Aug. 15, Friday, in Alaska. Russia and the U.S. are close neighbors, sharing a common border. It seems quite logical for our delegation simply to fly across the Bering Strait and for the important and anticipated summit of leaders of these two countries to take place precisely in Alaska,' he told reporters in Moscow. Trump earlier announced on Truth Social that he would meet Putin in Alaska on Aug. 15, marking their first in-person meeting since Trump returned to the White House in January. Ushakov noted that Alaska and the Arctic region are natural areas of shared interest for both nations, with the potential for large-scale bilateral projects. Still, he said, the focus will be on Ukraine. Preparations for the summit are already underway, with both sides committing to what Ushakov described as 'a challenging process' of intense political and logistical coordination. The Kremlin said it expects the next presidential meeting after Alaska to take place in Russia, adding that an invitation has already been extended to Trump. — Agencies

Weigh in on Sydney Sweeney or run the world? Trump attempts it all
From firing people to promoting jeans, calling for peace deals or the renaming of a sports team, President Donald Trump keeps a lot on his proverbial to-do list. Much of it is unrelated to running the country. More than six months into his second term as US commander-in-chief, Trump, a former New York businessman and reality television host, has applied a hands-on management style and producer-like attitude toward governing, relying largely on his own instincts for decisions large and small. Using the tools of social media and a propensity for bullying, Trump personally wades into issues inside and outside the federal government to get his way. He harangues company executives to invest in America and uses trade deals as leverage over foreign leaders to end conflicts. Last week he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics over unproven allegations she falsified figures that he didn't like. This week he called for the head of Intel to step down over ties with China, and the company's stock fell. In recent months he has pressed the Washington Commanders football team to change its name back to the Redskins, forced universities to pay huge amounts to the federal government, boosted retailer American Eagle Outfitters' shares with a compliment about a controversial jeans commercial featuring actor Sydney Sweeney and attempted to shore up Republican power by pushing for political redistricting in Texas. Trump's style, which can confound both his friends and his foes, is dramatically different from his more traditional predecessors. It has earned him condemnation for being caustic and praise for being effective at getting what he wants. 'While he delves into topics that are certainly distractions relative to the big business of leading the world's greatest nation, it can also be said that past presidents have excessively deferred to the bureaucracy and failed to deliver the change their voters expected,' said Carlos Curbelo, a Republican former congressman from Florida. 'Trump views himself more as the CEO of the USA. than as president,' Curbelo added. 'It's good for decision making and challenging for the constitutional order which made our country the world's greatest economic and military force.' Trump has taken on academia, the legal world, media companies, athletics, the federal bureaucracy and more, all while retooling the world economy with tariffs, cracking down on immigration flows, upending relations with allies and putting his stamp on American culture. Though he has a team of advisers, the president frequently follows his own counsel, making policy decisions and then announcing them himself, ramifications aside. 'I think what a lot of people miss about Trump is he's the marketer-in-chief,' said Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist with ties to the White House. 'Not only is he his own best press secretary, he's also his own best chief-of-staff.' A POTUS who 'can't focus' Critics question why Trump gets bogged down in issues that are secondary to his goals of strengthening the US economy, for example, or achieving a peace deal between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 'He's commenting one moment on ... Putin and tariffs and all that's happening in the world and the next moment he's talking about, oh, Sydney Sweeney, and all these other issues that are completely unrelated to being president of the United States,' said Charlie Dent, a Republican former congressman from Pennsylvania. 'He simply can't focus.' The White House said Trump is using his skills to deliver on policy priorities. 'President Trump's leadership style can be summed up plainly as decisive and commanding,' said White House spokesman Harrison Fields. Trump also employs a talent to distract when facing difficulty. Though that super power has largely eluded him with the controversy over sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein and the Department of Justice's refusal to release files related to the disgraced financier's case, Trump's broad ability to change the subject and dominate the news cycle has stupefied his opponents for years. 'His leadership style is much closer to that of an executive producer, and the executive producer who has a really big picture understanding of the audience,' said Republican strategist Kevin Madden, a senior adviser to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. 'I think he trusts his instincts about the audience over anybody else, and that's why you see him oftentimes, you know, managing his own policy portfolio.' Trump, though not a stickler for detail on all things policy-related, does get into the weeds on things he cares about, both cultural and political, including redecorating the Oval Office with gold, paving over the Rose Garden and building a new ballroom on the White House grounds. On Tuesday, reporters bantered with the president while he walked on the roof of the White House press room, surveying the grounds for what he said were more ways to spend his money. The White House said Trump and other donors plan to pay for the $200 million ballroom project, which is slated to be finished before his second term concludes. 'I think narcissists do get bogged down in details because they think that everything is a reflection of them,' said Republican strategist Rina Shah. 'When he decides to focus on the minutia, he's forgetting about the bigger picture. And that's kind of a disservice to the office.' Where critics see such disservice, the White House sees results. On the eve of presiding over a US-brokered peace framework between Azerbaijan and Armenia this week, Trump took to social media to tout his involvement: 'Many Leaders have tried to end the War, with no success, until now, thanks to 'TRUMP.''

Zelenskyy rules out territorial concessions ahead of Aug. 15 Trump-Putin peace talks
KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that Kyiv will not make territorial concessions in any negotiations with Moscow, insisting that Ukraine's borders are defined by its Constitution and are non-negotiable. 'The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in the Constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this – and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier,' Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. His comments came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Aug. 15 to discuss a potential settlement to the war in Ukraine. Media reports have suggested that Trump wants Zelenskyy to participate in the meeting, though this has not been officially confirmed. Zelenskyy warned against making any decisions regarding Ukraine without Ukrainian participation, saying such agreements would be 'stillborn' and 'unworkable.' He stressed that Ukraine is ready for 'real decisions' that can bring peace, but only those that involve Kyiv directly. 'Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace,' he said. 'We are ready to work together with President Trump, together with all our partners for real and, most importantly, lasting peace.' — Agencies
