WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): The US “got involved directly” when India and Pakistan went to war and President Donald Trump was able to deliver peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed. Rubio, in an interview to EWTN’s ‘The World Over’ on Thursday, said that Trump was committed to ensuring peace and being the “president of peace”. “And so, we saw that when India and Pakistan went to war, we got involved directly, and the president was able to deliver on that peace,” Rubio said.

Since May 10, Trump has repeated his claim many times that he “helped settle” the tensions between India and Pakistan and told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors that America will do a “lot of trade” with them if they stopped the conflict. India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations of the two militaries.

Rubio also listed other conflicts that he said Trump helped resolve. “Cambodia and Thailand more recently; Azerbaijan and Armenia, hopefully… DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)-Rwanda – a 30-year war, 7 million people killed – we were able to bring them here to sign it,” Rubio said. He added that the US was proud of those initiatives and “we’re looking for more – obviously, the big one being in Ukraine and Russia”. “We dedicate a significant amount of time to stopping and ending wars,” Rubio said.

  1. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
