India has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that he helped New Delhi and Islamabad reach a ceasefire in exchange for trade concessions.

The neighboring countries exchanged fire for several days after India's missile attack on Pakistan before reaching a ceasefire on Saturday.

India on Tuesday pushed back against US President Donald Trump’s offer to mediate on Kashmir and his claim that he used trade to prevent a “nuclear war” between India and Pakistan, with the external affairs ministry saying the military action under Operation Sindoor was “entirely in the conventional domain”.

A series of military strikes last week by India and Pakistan brought the nuclear-armed rivals closer to a broader war.

India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire to end the most serious conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals in decades. Explosions sounded hours later.

Pakistan categorically rejects the "provocative" assertions made by the Indian Prime Minister in his address yesterday, the Foreign Office said in a statement Tuesday.

Tensions between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan soared after a deadly attack on tourists on the Indian-run side of Kashmir in April 2025, but two online videos of the Pakistani army chief visiting the disputed border are old.
