He has ended wars, like India and Pakistan. He continues to work aggressively to end the war in Russia and Ukraine.”
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, however, did not acknowledge President Trump’s role in ceasefire between India and Pakistan after a four-day war in May as “it [ceasefire] was achieved through talks between the two militaries and not the US mediation.”She said the president wanted immediate ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine; he also called for ceasefire and immediate release of hostages in Gaza.
