Pakistan carried out Operation Bunyanum Marsoos in response to the Indian military’s creepy attack, which began the night of May 6 and 7, resulting in loss of innocent civilian lives, including women, children and the elderly.
On May 10, Pakistan deployed his al-Fatah missile and targeted several Indian military installations. However, after the intervention of Donald Trump, a full and immediate ceasefire was reached between India and Pakistan.
Trump made his remarks just before he was scheduled to host Coas Field Marshal Asim Munir at a rare meeting of the White House on Wednesday, something likely to disturb India, a country that US president and his predecessor Joe Biden picked up as part of the effort to push back against China.
Spokesman for the White House Anna Kelly said Trump would host Asim Munir after calling for the president to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize to prevent a nuclear war between India and Pakistan.

Trump had said last month that the nuclear armed South Asian neighbors agreed to ceasefire after conversations conveyed by the United States and that hostilities ended after he called on the countries to focus on trade instead of war.

“PM Modi clearly told President Trump that during this period there was no talk at any time on topics such as India-US-trading agreement or US mediation between India and Pakistan,” Misri said in a press release.
“Lecture for the termination of military action occurred directly between India and Pakistan through existing military channels and about insistence from Pakistan. Prime Minister Modi emphasized that India has not accepted mediation in the past and will never do,” he said.
Misri said the two leaders should meet on the sidelines of the G7 summit, but Trump left one day early because of the situation in the Middle East.
Trump asked Modi if he could stop at the United States upon his return from Canada, Misri said, but the Indian leader expressed his inability to do so because of a predetermined schedule. “He invited Trump to visit India later this year for the top of the leaders of Quad Grouping, which Trump accepted,” Misri said.
