After India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire following pressure from the United States to ease military tensions, several Make America Great Again (MAGA) allies praised President Donald Trump, with conservative strategist Joey Mannarino calling him a "peace president.

After three nights of intense aerial warfare, India and Pakistan reached an understanding to end the fighting that President Donald Trump claimed was "mediated" by the US, but which India insisted was achieved bilaterally through director general of military operations (DGMO)-level talks initiated by the Pakistani side.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday opened about the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. In a major revelation, he said that he pressured both the countries by threatening of ending trade with India and Pakistan.

The military operations chiefs of India and Pakistan will discuss on Monday the next steps for the nuclear-armed neighbours after a ceasefire returns calm to the border, following their fiercest fighting in nearly three decades.

A ceasefire agreed between India and Pakistan appears to be holding, with both sides stressing their commitment to the surprise truce which halted the worst fighting in decades between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
