Today, Representative Warren Davidson introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives to commend President Donald J. Trump for his role in mediating a ceasefire between Pakistan and India. The resolution acknowledges Trump's efforts to de-escalate tensions following recent conflicts in the region.

Rep. Davidson stated, "President Trump once again demonstrated his skill as a master negotiator and peacemaker by helping to mediate a ceasefire between Pakistan and India." He highlighted Trump's strategic use of trade leverage as instrumental in reducing regional tensions. Davidson further remarked on the importance of stability in South Asia for global security and U.S. national interests, noting that Trump's leadership was beneficial for both the region and the world.

The conflict was reignited by a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India, on April 22, 2025. This incident led to increased hostilities between Pakistan and India, including exchanges of artillery, drone, and missile strikes. In response, President Trump intervened by leveraging potential trade restrictions and offering economic incentives to broker peace.

Following the successful mediation and ceasefire agreement, Pakistan nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his diplomatic efforts.
