Meanwhile, in the United States, President Donald Trump claimed that his intervention in the India-Pakistan standoff was a “bigger success” than he would ever be credited for. In an interview with Fox News on Friday (May 16, 2025), Trump said his talks with the two nuclear-armed nations helped de-escalate a dangerous situation that had reached the brink of potential nuclear confrontation.

"Those are not small players. These are nuclear powers, and they were angry," Trump remarked, highlighting the gravity of the situation.

On the other side, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged India to engage in dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues, including Kashmir. Speaking during the country’s ‘Youm-e-Tashakur’ (Day of Thanks) event to honor the military, Sharif acknowledged that the two countries had fought three wars but achieved nothing substantial. He emphasized the need for both nations to sit down like peaceful neighbors and chart a new course of cooperation.

Further developments on the diplomatic outreach and peace process are awaited.
