U.S. President Donald Trump has offered to mediate between India and Pakistan amid escalating tensions following India's Operation Sindoor strikes on 9 terror camps across Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The strikes were in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in 26 deaths. Trump expressed his desire for both countries to cease hostilities, stating, 'I want to see them stop,' and offered his assistance, saying, 'If I can help, I'll be there.' The White House has confirmed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in constant communication with the leaders of India and Pakistan, urging immediate de-escalation and direct dialogue. Rubio held separate telephone calls with Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, emphasizing the need for both nations to step back from the brink of conflict. Rubio expressed condolences for the civilian casualties from the Pahalgam attack and urged Pakistan to end its support for terrorist groups. The European Union has also been involved in discussions with India regarding the situation.
