After brokering the ceasefire between India and Pakistan following the military tensions, US President Donald Trump has now offered a unique suggestion to reduce tensions between Pakistan and India: he has proposed that the two nations should “have dinner together.”
While speaking at the Saudi-US Investment Forum 2025, President Trump praised his team, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for their role in calming the situation between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
“Maybe we could even get them together a little bit, Marco, where they go out and have a nice dinner together. Wouldn’t that be nice?” Trump said during his address.
On May 13, during a press briefing at the White House, Trump stated that his administration had helped broker a full and immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan, claiming it had stopped a “nuclear conflict.”
“On Saturday, my administration helped broker a full and immediate ceasefire, and I believe it will be a permanent one between India and Pakistan, ending a dangerous conflict between two nuclear-armed nations,” Trump said.

He also praised the leadership of both countries. “The situation seemed to be escalating without signs of stopping. I am very proud to inform you that the leadership of both India and Pakistan demonstrated unwavering strength and wisdom in understanding the gravity of the situation,” he remarked.
Trump added that trade played a key role in the ceasefire agreement. “I said to them, ‘Let’s stop this. We can engage in substantial trade with both of you. If you stop, trade will flourish; if not, we will not engage.’ People have never utilised trade the way I have, and suddenly they agreed to stop. There were many reasons, but trade played a significant role.”
