Vice President J.D. Vance suggested the U.S. will not intervene in the conflict between India and Pakistan, arguing the dust-up is "fundamentally none of our business."
U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social post that India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire.
“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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president declared in his Saturday morning post.
Both foreign nations are among the handful of world powers that possess nuclear weapons, making tensions between the two countries particularly dangerous on the global stage.
