Time to stop fighting: Trump offers help on Kashmir resolution

US President Donald Trump has offered to help resolve the Kashmir dispute, expressing willingness to work with both Pakistan and India, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Sunday.

In a message posted on social media platform X on Sunday, President Trump stated, “I will work together with Pakistan and India to help resolve the Kashmir issue.”

He also expressed interest in expanding trade ties with both neighbouring nuclear power countries, calling the recent ceasefire a critical step toward de-escalation.

“The leadership of both Pakistan and India understands that it's time to stop the fighting,” Trump said, adding that continued conflict could have led to massive destruction and loss of life.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan acknowledged the Trump administration’s role in facilitating the ceasefire. In a tweet, he praised the agreement as “the beginning of a wider movement towards peace, prosperity, and stability in the region”.

He expressed Pakistan’s gratitude to President Trump, along with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for their “leadership and proactive role” in bringing about this outcome.

“Pakistan appreciates the United States for facilitating this outcome, which we have accepted in the interest of regional peace and stability,” Sharif wrote.
