US dedicates time to stopping wars, says Marco Rubio; claims Trump ‘got involved directly' in India-Pak conflict
Donald Trump had repeatedly claimed that he brokered the 'ceasefire' between India and Pakistan when the two nations were locked in a conflict in May. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated the same on Friday, claiming that they (US) 'dedicate a significant amount of time to stopping and ending wars'. Rubio stated that the US 'got involved directly' when India and Pakistan 'went to war', and the POTUS was able to deliver peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Since 10 May, Trump has repeated his claim many times that he 'helped settle' the tensions between India and Pakistan and told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America will do a 'lot of trade' with them if they stop the conflict. India, however, after Operation Sindoor, has junked the POTUS's claims, and consistently maintained that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries. Rubio, in an interview with EWTN's 'The World Over' on Thursday, said that Trump is committed to peace and is the 'president of peace'. 'And so, we saw when India and Pakistan went to war, we got involved directly, and the president was able to deliver on that peace,' Rubio said. The US Secretary further listed other countries that have recently witnessed conflicts, claiming that Trump helped resolve those. 'Cambodia and Thailand more recently; Azerbaijan and Armenia, hopefully…DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)-Rwanda – a 30-year war, 7 million people killed – we were able to bring them here to sign it,' Rubio said. He added that the US was proud of those initiatives and 'we're looking for more – obviously, the big one being in Ukraine and Russia'. Not just the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Donald Trump had previously claimed that he also helped Cambodia and Thailand resolve their recent conflict. In July 2025, the POTUS, after his meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, had claimed that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas was imminent, and that the two nations were 'very close to a deal'.

Did Trump broker India-Pakistan ceasefire during Op Sindoor? Rubio makes BIG claim, says US was directly..., Trump able to...
(File) Operation Sindoor: US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for brokering the India-Pakistan ceasefire that ended the 100-hour war between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in May this year. Trump has repeated the claim over two dozen times since May 10, and now, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reiterated the same, claiming that the United States 'got involved directly' when India and Pakistan 'went to war', and the US President was able to establish peace between the two bitter rivals. What did Rubio say? In an interview to EWTN's 'The World Over' on Thursday, Marco Rubio said that Trump is committed to peace and being the 'president of peace'. And so, we saw when India and Pakistan went to war, we got involved directly, and the president was able to deliver on that peace.' Rubio claimed that apart from ending the recent India-Pakistan war, Donald Trump also played a key role in resolving conflicts in other parts of the world, such as between Cambodia and Thailand, Armenia and Azerbaijan. 'Cambodia and Thailand more recently; Azerbaijan and Armenia, hopefully…DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)-Rwanda – a 30-year war, 7 million people killed – we were able to bring them here to sign it,' Rubio said, adding that the US was proud of those initiatives and 'we're looking for more – obviously, the big one being in Ukraine and Russia'. 'We dedicate a significant amount of time to stopping and ending wars,' he said. How India responded? Rubio's statement comes at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently told the Parliament that no world leader forced India to stop the hostilities during Operations Sindoor against Pakistan. India has consistently maintained that understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries. Recently, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who recently led an all-party delegation to the US, said he raised Trump's mediation claims directly with US Vice President JD Vance during his talks. 'The meeting with Vice President Vance was very good and very clear. I think we made our position clear on this question of mediation and Vice President Vance understood our point of view completely,' Tharoor said. Donald Trump, since May 10, has repeatedly claimed credit for mediating India-Pakistan ceasefire, asserting he used trade as a weapon to force New Delhi and Islamabad to 'immediately stop the fighting'.

Why doesn't PM Modi categorically deny what Trump, Rubio repeatedly claim on India-Pak conflict: Congress
Synopsis The Congress party criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statements. Rubio claimed US intervention led to peace between India and Pakistan. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh questioned Modi's silence on the matter. He contrasted it with Modi's earlier statement on Chinese incursions. Ramesh asked why Modi doesn't deny Rubio's claims, suggesting he might be afraid. ANI Jairam Ramesh The Congress on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over recent remarks made by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the four-day military conflict between India and Pakistan, asking what the PM was "afraid" of that he doesn't categorically deny the claims. The opposition party's attack came after Rubio said the US "got involved directly" when India and Pakistan "went to war", and President Donald Trump was able to deliver peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Since May 10, Trump has repeated his claim many times that he "helped settle" the tensions between India and Pakistan and told the nuclear-armed neighbours that America will do a "lot of trade" with them if they stopped the conflict. India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries. In a post on X, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said much was made of the fact that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's first bilateral meeting was with India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on January 22, 2025. "On May 10, 2025, at 1735 hrs it was Mr. Rubio who was the very first to announce that India and Pakistan had arrived at a ceasefire because of US intervention. Since then, his boss the US President has repeated that claim 34 times," Ramesh said in a post on X. "Now Mr. Rubio himself has once again said that when India and Pakistan went to war, President Trump got 'directly involved and delivered on the peace'," he said. "Why is Mr. Modi silent? Even the External Affairs Minister has been too clever by half in his response to what President Trump and Mr. Rubio have been saying. Mr. Modi was quick to give a clean chit publicly to China on June 19 2020 with his now-infamous line 'Na koi hamari seema mein ghus aaya hai, na hi koi ghusa hua hai'. "Why doesn't he publicly and categorically deny what President Trump and Mr. Rubio are saying time and again? What is he afraid of?" Ramesh said. Rubio, in an interview with EWTN's 'The World Over' on Thursday, said that Trump is committed to peace and being the "president of peace". "And so, we saw when India and Pakistan went to war, we got involved directly, and the president was able to deliver on that peace," Rubio said.
