Beijing: US President Donald Trump said that the announced ceasefire agreed with Iran in order to open diplomatic engagements to achieve a complete solution to the hostilities in West Asia was done "as a favour to Pakistan", which has been acting as a mediator in the talks between Washinagton and Tehran, while also claiming that other nations also requested the truce.
Addressing the press aboard Air Force One en route to Anchorage from his two-day "high-stakes" visit from China, Trump suggested that broader international pressure had influenced the decision to pause hostilities.
