Trump Urges India, Pakistan to Halt Fighting, Offers Mediation

US President Donald Trump called for an immediate end to India-Pakistan hostilities on Wednesday, offering to mediate the worst escalation in two decades, as both nations exchanged artillery fire following India’s missile strikes.

On May 7, 2025, President Donald Trump urged India and Pakistan to cease their escalating conflict, describing it as “terrible” during a White House briefing, as reported by Reuters. “I get along with both, and I want to see them stop,” Trump said, offering to help mediate.

Trump’s remarks followed India’s missile strikes on Pakistan, which killed 31 civilians, and Pakistan’s retaliation, downing five Indian jets, including Rafales.

Trump on the India-Pakistan conflict:

“My position is I get along with both. I know both very well and I want to see them work it out. I want to see them stop…they’ve gone tit-for-tat, so hopefully they can stop now”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio engaged Indian and Pakistani counterparts on May 6, urging dialogue to “defuse” the situation, per a White House statement cited by Bloomberg. The US, previously focused on Ukraine and Gaza, has intensified diplomacy, with Rubio’s calls signalling active intervention, per Al Jazeera.

Context of Escalating Conflict

The crisis erupted after the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, killing 26, which India baselessly blamed on Pakistan, per The Guardian. India’s strikes targeted civilian areas, prompting Pakistan’s robust response, including destroying a brigade headquarters. The UN and Iran have called for de-escalation, with Moody’s warning of economic fallout.

President Trump’s urgent call on May 7, 2025, for India and Pakistan to end their deadly escalation, backed by an offer to mediate, marks a critical US push for peace. As artillery fire follows India’s strikes and Pakistan’s retaliation, global diplomacy faces a test to prevent a nuclear crisis.
