US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is keeping a daily watch on the situation between India and Pakistan, as well as other hotspots around the world where tensions persist.
In an interview with NBC News, Rubio warned that ceasefire agreements are fragile and “can fall apart quickly" since maintaining them is a challenge.
“Every single day we keep an eye on what’s happening between Pakistan and India, what’s happening between Cambodia and Thailand," Rubio said at channel’s Meet the Press show.
Rubio noted that maintaining a ceasefire is a challenging task, and said, “Ceasefires can fall apart very quickly, especially after a three-and-a-half-year war like what we’re facing now."
He also reiterated US President Donald Trump’s claim of having helped in thwarting a nuclear escalation between India and Pakistan.
“And I think we are very fortunate and blessed and should be thankful to have a President who has made peace and the achievement of peace a priority of his administration. We’ve seen it in Cambodia and Thailand. We’ve seen it in India-Pakistan," Rubio said.
Trump has often taken credit for the ceasefire agreement between the two Asian nations, after Operation Sindoor, which India led in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
India, however, has strongly dismissed such claims, reiterating that all matters with Pakistan are strictly bilateral and leave no room for outside mediation.
New Delhi repeatedly stressed that the military conflict with Pakistan ended in May after Islamabad sought a ceasefire following heavy damage.
