Trump Claims Credit for India-Pakistan Ceasefire While Reiterating Russian Oil Import Assertions

Oct 26, 2025 11:38 am CST

President Trump has reasserted his role in mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, despite India's denials of third-party involvement. He also maintained that India will stop Russian oil imports by year-end, a claim Indian officials continue to reject. These statements come as Trump embarks on an Asia tour, with planned meetings with Xi Jinping while postponing talks with Putin until progress on Ukraine is made.
