Earlier in the week, Trump claimed he had threatened both countries with 350 per cent tariffs if hostilities continued.India, however, has consistently dismissed any suggestion of third-party mediation. The conflict began after India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians. After four days of drone and missile exchanges, both sides reached an understanding on May 10 to end hostilities.Friday’s visit also highlighted Mamdani’s historic election as New York City’s first South Asian and first Muslim mayor. He defeated Republican Curtis Sliwa and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent with a last-minute endorsement from Trump.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
