Following a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, the former U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to increase trade with both nations.

In a Truth Social post, Trump stated he would “increase trade, substantially” with both countries. He also offered to assist them in finding a solution to the Kashmir conflict, which he noted has lasted “a thousand years.” He commended the leadership of both India and Pakistan for their work.

The ceasefire appeared to be holding on Sunday after days of intense conflict that resulted in numerous casualties from missile and drone attacks on military bases. The agreement was achieved through diplomacy and U.S. pressure, though artillery fire was reported in Indian Kashmir shortly after the agreement.

During the preceding evenings, attacks occurred in cities near the border, which were under blackout conditions.

The recent fighting was sparked by an attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, two weeks prior, which killed 26 people. Both India and Pakistan control parts of Kashmir but claim the entire region.

On Saturday, India accused Pakistan of violating the ceasefire agreement and instructed its forces to respond firmly to any further violations.

Pakistan, in turn, accused India of violating the truce but affirmed its commitment to the ceasefire.

By Sunday morning, the fighting and explosions reported overnight had ceased on both sides of the border.

Trump expressed his pride in the “strong and unwaveringly powerful leadership” of India and Pakistan for ending the aggression, which he said “could have lead to to [sic] the death and destruction of so many, and so much.”

He further added that “Millions of good and innocent people could have died! Your legacy is greatly enhanced by your brave actions. I am proud that the USA was able to help you arrive at this historic and heroic decision.”

In Amritsar, an Indian border city, a siren signaled the resumption of normal activities on Sunday morning.

reported overnight firing in Bhimber, Pakistani Kashmir, but stated that there was no further fighting or reported casualties.

India and Pakistan have fought three wars, two of which were over Kashmir.
