US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has praised President Donald Trump for what he described as a sweeping reshaping of America’s foreign policy, arguing that the President deserves “tremendous credit" for brokering multiple peace agreements, including the “very dangerous ones like India and Pakistan".

His remarks came during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday, where the Donald Trump administration repeated its claims of having resolved several longstanding global conflicts, specifically India-Pakistan.

Rubio said that under Trump’s leadership, American foreign policy had, for the first time in years, been guided purely by the question of whether it made the United States “safer, stronger and more prosperous".

He asserted that this clarity has been a defining trait of the administration.

“If it is, he’s (Trump) for it. If it doesn’t, he’s against it. And that sort of clarity is transformational," he stated.

The Secretary of State went on to cite what he portrayed as Trump’s successful diplomatic interventions across the world.

“Not to mention all the other peace deals, very dangerous ones like India and Pakistan or Cambodia and Thailand, and so on… Mr President, I think you deserve tremendous credit for the transformational aspect of our foreign policy," Rubio said during the meeting.

His comments echoed Trump’s own repeated assertions that he played a decisive role in easing tensions between India and Pakistan during their four-day conflict in May this year.

Earlier in the meeting, Trump once again reiterated that he had settled multiple global conflicts during his tenure, adding that these accomplishments should qualify him for international recognition.

“We ended eight wars. But we’re going to do one more, I think, I hope," Trump said, referring to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Trump has frequently insisted that within the first months of his second term, he resolved tensions between India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Rwanda and Congo, and even helped end the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The President has repeated these claims often, saying that his administration’s diplomatic efforts have brought stability to regions long afflicted by hostilities.

According to the White House, Trump is also preparing to host Congo President Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo and Rwanda President Paul Kagame to sign what Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described as a “historic peace and economic agreement" mediated by Washington.

Since May 10, when Trump posted on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate" ceasefire after what he called a “long night" of US-brokered talks, he has repeated the claim more than 60 times that he “helped settle" the latest round of tensions.

New Delhi, however, has continued to firmly deny that any third-party mediation played a role in the outcome.

India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir following the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.

After four days of heavy cross-border drone and missile strikes, India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to halt hostilities.
