From India-Pak tensions 'none of our business' to 'mediated talks': US's big flip

In less than 24 hours, the United States went from calling the India-Pakistan conflict “none of our business” to claiming it had “mediated a long night of talks” that led to the ceasefire. 

But as US leaders rushed to take credit, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri made it clear: the ceasefire was a direct agreement between India and Pakistan, with no third-party mediation.

"After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. Congratulations to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence," Trump posted on Truth Social.
