U.S. Backs Trump’s Mediation Interest
On June 11, 2025, the U.S. State Department confirmed that President Donald Trump is open to helping mediate the ongoing Kashmir conflict. Trump sees this as part of his wider effort to address longstanding disputes around the globe. At a press briefing in Washington, spokesperson Tammy Bruce said, “He tries to address conflicts that have lasted for generations, so it’s not surprising he wants to help with this.”
Trump’s Role in Recent Peace Efforts
This statement comes after Trump played a part in brokering a short-term ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The ceasefire paused one of the fiercest military standoffs in years. On his Truth Social account, Trump wrote that he wants to “work with both countries to see if, after a ‘thousand years,’ a solution can be found for Kashmir.”
Diplomatic Meetings in Washington
Bruce also reported that a Pakistani parliamentary team, led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, met senior U.S. officials such as Under Secretary Allison Hooker. Their talks covered counterterrorism efforts and ways to support the new ceasefire. At the same time, Deputy Secretary Landau spoke with an Indian parliamentary group, confirming continued U.S. support for India’s work against terrorism.
