Trump govt takes a step back, encourages direct talks between India Pakistan over Kashmir dispute

US President Donald Trump has renewed his offer to mediate between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir dispute, following a recent ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed nations. The United States expressed support for direct dialogue and praised the de-escalation. India, however, rejected any third-party role, reiterating its position on Kashmir as an internal matter. As regional tensions continue to simmer, Trump claimed credit for easing the situation and called for increased trade to replace conflict.
