Trump To Negotiate Ceasefire Between Jaffer & Vaughan? India Batter's X Post Viral
Wasim Jaffer has denied reports of Donald Trump negotiating a ceasefire between him and Michael Vaughan, confirming their social media banter will continue.
Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has said that all reports of American President Donald Trump negotiating a ceasefire between him and former England cricketer Michael Vaughan are baseless and untrue, after the banter between the duo continued after India won the fifth Test against England on Monday.
In the words of two skippers, Shubman Gill and his rival number Ben Stokes, 2-2 is a fair result after a 45-day slugfest.
The two matches that India lost, the series-opener at Leeds and the third Test at Lord's, could have gone the other way around, but those are the learnings that the cricketers would take back home.
'Lying on a Baz having a ball, how about you @MichaelVaughan😆 #ENGvIND," Jaffer tweeted on Monday afternoon.

'Series drawn but India take the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on boundary count @MichaelVaughan😜 #ENGvIND," Jaffer tweeted soon after.

US seeking Ukrainian conflict end on current frontlines, to end funding: US VP Vance
Ahead of the much-anticipated summit meeting between the US and Russian Presidents in Alaska, US Vice President J.D. Vance said that negotiations to end the Ukraine conflict "should be based on the existing battle lines", though admitting it will not make "anybody super happy". Vance, speaking to Fox News, described this strategy as "a realistic, if imperfect, foundation" for a negotiated peace between Russia and Ukraine, RT reported. He also credited President Donald Trump with securing a breakthrough that could bring Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the table. "If you take where the current line of contact between Russia and Ukraine is, we're going to try to find some negotiated settlement that the Ukrainians and the Russians can live with… where the killing stops,"| Vance told Fox News, admitting that "it's not going to make anybody super happy". Trump had said earlier that the ideas under discussion include "some swapping of territories to the betterment of both" sides, and Zelensky would need to find a way to approve such a deal under Ukrainian law. Zelensky has rejected any such agreement, claiming that 'nobody can or will' make concessions on the issue. 'The Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupiers,' he proclaimed. Vance also claimed President Trump had persuaded his Russian counterpart to reverse course on his refusal to meet Zelensky, and that scheduling talks between the three leaders was now under discussion. Asked if Putin and Zelensky should meet before involving Trump, he contended that he doesn't think "it would be that productive", and it must be Trump who is the one to 'bring these two together' for meaningful progress. In the interview published after he met several European and Ukrainian officials in London, including UK Foreign Minister David Lammy, ahead of the summit meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump, the US Vice President also said the US is not going to fund Ukraine anymore. Ukraine's European backers can buy the weapons from American producers if they want to continue supporting Kiev, and the US will be "okay with that", Vance added. He suggested that Kiev's European backers should play a bigger role in providing funding if they "care so much about this conflict.' "Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars, to this particular conflict. But if the Europeans want to step up and buy the weapons from American producers, we're okay with that. But we're not going to fund it ourselves anymore," he said.

Why did Asim Munir visit US for second time after Operation Sindoor? Who has he invited to visit Pakistan, and why?
New Delhi: The relations between the United States and Pakistan have improved a lot in recent months. This happened after Donald Trump assumed the office of the US President. Why is America biased in favour of Pakistan? Donald Trump also hosted Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir for lunch at the White House on June 18, 2025. It is also worth noting that America imposed a 50% tariff on India, while the tariff on Pakistan is only 19%, which is a huge gap of 31%. It will work in Pakistan's favour, as it has given Pakistan a big lead over India in the American market. What is the purpose of Asim Munir's US visit? After visiting the USA in June, Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is again on a visit to America, where he met top political and military leaders of America. The Army Chief held high-level talks with senior political and military leadership as well as Pakistani expatriates. It is worth noting that America did not officially inform about Asim Munir's visit. There was also no information shared as to when he reached America. Who is General Michael Kurilla? Field Marshal Asim Munir praised General Michael Kurilla's exemplary leadership and his invaluable contribution to strengthening bilateral military cooperation. General Michael Kurilla is a retired United States Army general who served as the 15th commander of United States Central Command from 2022 to 2025. General Michael Kurilla retired on August 8, 2025, being succeeded by Brad Cooper as commander of U.S. Central Command. Field Marshal Asim Munir wished Admiral Cooper all the best and expressed confidence in continued cooperation to deal with shared security challenges. Who is General Dan Caine, whom Munir invited to visit Pakistan? Asim Munir also met General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The two discussed matters of mutual professional interests. Field Marshal Munir also invited General Caine to visit Pakistan. During an interactive session with Pakistani expatriates, Munir urged them to maintain faith in Pakistan's bright future and actively contribute to attracting investments.

‘Failed marshal, failed nation': Priyanka Chaturvedi slams Pakistan Army chief's nuclear threats from US soil
Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Sunday slammed Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir, calling him a 'failed marshal' who made 'cowardly' threats of nuclear weapons against India during his US visit. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi calls Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir a 'failed marshal' over nuclear threats.(ANI File ) She urged the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to intervene and take control of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, warning they are in the hands of a 'maniacal person' making threats from American soil. 'These are all cowardly threats coming from a failed nation and a failed marshal. However, it also becomes imperative that the IAEA steps in and takes control of their nuclear weapons because they are in the control of an absolutely maniacal person who is threatening India from the soil of America,' Priyanka told news agency PTI. Priyanka Chaturvedi questioned how threats against India made from US soil are acceptable, given the strong US-India strategic partnership. 'I want to ask the Americans. We have a very strong strategic relationship and partnership with the United States of America. We are two strong democracies working on economic cooperation and trade. Any such dialogue coming out of the land of America, which is a direct threat to our nation, how is it acceptable?' she asked. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader also questioned the government's decision to proceed with a cricket match against Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. 'While he (Asim Munir) is threatening us with nuclear war, and we are talking about playing cricket with Pakistan. How is BCCI and GoI going ahead with a cricket match which is over the blood of our innocents, who were killed in the Pahalgam attack, as well as our armed forces, who fought bravely in Operation Sindoor,' she added. In Tampa, Asim Munir warned that Pakistan would escalate to nuclear war if faced with an existential threat in a future conflict with India, reported The Print. 'We are a nuclear nation. If we think we are going down, we'll take half the world down with us,' the report quoted him as saying. Munir made the remarks during a black-tie dinner hosted by businessman Adnan Asad, the honorary consul for Pakistan in Tampa.
