‘We Decide, Not Pakistan’- Jaishankar Clarifies on India-US Ties, Rejects Trump’s Ceasefire Claims

External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar has strongly rejected former US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor was achieved through trade diplomacy. In a sharp statement in Washington DC, Jaishankar clarified that the ceasefire was a military-to-military understanding negotiated solely by the DGMOs of India and Pakistan. “The record is very clear,” he said, reaffirming that India’s decisions are based on its own national interest, not outside mediation. Trump had earlier said trade talks helped “stop the war,” but Jaishankar firmly stated that India-US ties stand on their own merit. As Operation Sindoor continues to reshape the geopolitical balance, India’s stand against terrorism and its principled diplomacy remain the core of its global engagement.
