The Pakistani government said that at a time when regional turmoil was escalating, Trump demonstrated "remarkable strategic vision and outstanding statesmanship", conducted strong diplomatic engagement with both India and Pakistan, alleviated the rapidly deteriorating situation, and ultimately facilitated a ceasefire. "This intervention fully demonstrates his role as a true architect of peace and his firm commitment to resolving conflicts through dialogue," the statement read. The Pakistani government also pointed out that the Pakistani side "acknowledges and highly appreciates" Trump's "genuine assistance" in mediating the Kashmir issue. "The leadership performance of Trump during the 2025 India-Pakistan crisis clearly continues his consistent style of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peacebuilding. The Pakistani side looks forward to his sincere efforts continuing to contribute to regional and global stability, especially against the backdrop of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy currently unfolding in Gaza, and the constantly escalating situation involving Iran," the statement concluded. On June 18 local time, U.S. President Trump met with General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan, at the White House, where they discussed issues such as the conflict between Israel and Iran, and had lunch together at the White House. After meeting with General Bajwa at the White House, Trump said, "They understand Iran very well, better than most countries, and they are very dissatisfied with the current situation. They see what is happening, and he agrees with me." However, he did not provide specific explanations for this statement.

For a long time, Trump has shown great interest in receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. According to reports by Russia's Sputnik News Agency, in February this year, Trump said that he believed his efforts to promote peace in the Middle East and Africa deserved the award, but he thought he would not receive the Nobel Peace Prize because he was too conservative. He said at the time when meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House: "They never give me the Nobel Peace Prize, I deserve it, but they just don't." In addition, former first deputy director of South Korea's National Intelligence Service, Hong Chang-won, also nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in February. Previously, Timor-Leste President Jose Ramos-Horta said he was willing to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he successfully resolved the Ukraine crisis and the conflict in the Gaza Strip through efforts. Belarusian President Lukashenko also said that although the Nobel Peace Prize "has lost all its meaning", if Trump successfully mediates the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, he would be willing to nominate him as a candidate.
