White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that a Kashmiri waiter in Doha personally thanked her for US President Donald Trump’s role in de-escalating the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Karoline Leavitt recounted a breakfast conversation, writing, “This morning at breakfast, my waiter told me to thank President Trump for him. I asked him why. He told me he is from Kashmir and had been unable to return home in recent weeks due to the India-Pakistan conflict."
As per Karoline Leavitt, the waiter believed the ceasefire was achieved through US intervention. The waiter “said President Trump is not receiving enough credit for literally preventing a nuclear war — and he is right!" she added, crediting Trump, Vice President and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for brokering the agreement between Indian and Pakistan.
While Donald Trump has publicly claimed that the US brokered the ceasefire, India has said that the ceasefire resulted from a direct agreement between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan. The conflict, escalating after the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attacks, saw four days of intense cross-border drone and missile attacks before the May 10 ceasefire.
Karoline Leavitt portrayed the ceasefire as a diplomatic victory for Donald Trump as she asserted, “President Trump inherited so many conflicts around the globe, and he is tackling them one at a time. This historic trip to the Middle East has marked a significant turn in US foreign policy in the region that will finally usher the Golden Age of the Middle East! Peace, through strength, is being restored!"
