Story highlights

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio again reiterated US roles in helping end the India-Pakistan war after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.

The United States again claimed to have brokered to end the war between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack claimed 16 lives at the popular tourist destination in Jammu and Kashmir. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday (Aug 7) said that the Trump administration was “involved directly” in brokering peace between both the countries following Operation Sindoor launched by India against Pakistan to avenge the killings.

“On the broader issue of peace, the President is committed to peace and committed to being the President of peace. And so, we saw when India and Pakistan went to war, we got involved directly, and the President was able to deliver on that peace,” said Rubio while speaking at the EWTN’s The World Over show.

Indian has, however, rejected claims by the US of brokering a peace between both the countries. It has maintained that the agreement to stop hostilities with Pakistan came through direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries and not with intervention of US President Donald Trump.

Rubio also mentioned other conflicts that the trump administration has been 'successful' in resolving.

“Cambodia and Thailand more recently; Azerbaijan and Armenia, hopefully – we’re taping this here today, but on Friday of this week, we’ll be here to sign an agreement and the beginning of a peace deal there. DRC-Rwanda – a 30-year war, 7 million people killed – we were able to bring them here to sign it. Obviously, work needs to – peace is not permanent. It always has to be worked and maintained,” he said.

“We dedicate a significant amount of time to stopping and ending wars,” Rubio added.
