What’s interesting to know is that they submitted him for a Nobel Peace Prize after he helped negotiate a deal between India and Pakistan. It was probably something he pushed for because that’s not normally what countries do after somebody helps them to broker a deal.
I mean Pakistan felt compelled to at least put his name in for the Nobel Peace Prize. That means he probably did something but who knows how much she was actually involved for whether or not this is all just a political stunt.
I also remember reading somewhere that India was the one that called Trump to negotiate a ceasefire after Pakistan responded. I can’t tell what’s misinformation this day without spending a ton of time researching the history of the topic
[The Times] reported that India felt frustrated after Donald Trump public claims of mediating a cease-fire, presenting both countries as equals and downplaying the terrorist attack that triggered the conflict, and that India had hoped any U.S. involvement would remain discreet, and Trump’s portrayal of both countries on equal terms was seen by Indian officials as politically sensitive and diplomatically frustrating…
On 21 June, Pakistan announced it would nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in brokering the ceasefire. Pakistan credited Trump’s diplomatic intervention, though India denied any U.S. mediation.
Like it said, seems like India assumed the modest level of mediation would be confidential (clear miscalculus on their part), while Pakistan, err, trumped up the magnitude of the intervention to paint themselves in a better light, possibly because they’re at a military disadvantage, and felt grateful for the help.
Seems like there was some backchannel involvement from many countries (like “Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE and the UK” and indeed the US), but Trump couldn’t help himself and loudly claimed credit before the ceasefire was even announced.
Now India’s annoyed (hence their flat denial).
I like this explanation, it ‘fits’ all the involved characters, including Trump blotting out the sun and killing any nuance to the situation.
He probably is not aware of it, but with that move he ruined years of US trying to align itself with India.
India does not see itself as a peer next to Pakistan. Suggesting that US (or anybody) would meditate peace talks with Pakistan was extremely insulting to India.

Wasn’t his involvement pretty minimal anyway?

Or is that spin from India? Somewhere in between?

It seems like a really excellent response that’s well informed and source well.
It does seem like the most plausible explanation

Given the incredibly right wing bent of the current Indian government I’m okay if our relations aren’t exactly Frosty.
Trump blowing up us relations with countries is just another day
