Trump Open to Mediating Kashmir Dispute, US State Department Confirms

WASHINGTON D.C. – The United States has indicated that former President Donald Trump may be willing to serve as a mediator in the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan, particularly following a recent deadly incident in Pahalgam that has heightened regional tensions.

Trump as a Potential Peace Facilitator

During a press briefing, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce emphasized Trump’s longstanding interest in resolving international conflicts. She remarked that it is not surprising he might consider intervening in the Kashmir situation, given his history of mediating disputes.

Bruce noted Trump’s unique approach to diplomacy, which has often involved unconventional methods to bring opposing parties together.

Pakistan Intensifies Diplomatic Efforts in the US

These remarks coincide with Pakistan’s renewed diplomatic campaign to refute Indian claims regarding the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, which Islamabad has categorically denied.

A high-level delegation from Pakistan, led by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, recently visited Washington. They engaged with key US officials, including Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Allison Hooker, to discuss several important issues:

• Strengthening bilateral relations
• Promoting peace and stability in South Asia
• Addressing misinformation about Kashmir

US Supports Ongoing Ceasefire

Tammy Bruce reaffirmed the US commitment to maintaining the ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed nations, stating, “We are encouraged that the ceasefire remains intact, and we fully support efforts aimed at ensuring peace.”

Pakistan Expands International Outreach

Beyond their engagements in the US, the Pakistani delegation plans to visit major cities such as London and Brussels. Their objective is to present Pakistan’s viewpoint on the Kashmir issue and to seek international support for a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict.

Looking Ahead

Although no formal mediation proposal has been put forth, recent statements from US officials suggest an increasing willingness to facilitate dialogue between Pakistan and India. The Kashmir issue continues to be a significant flashpoint in South Asia, drawing global attention as diplomatic efforts progress.
