U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed his readiness to mediate between Pakistan and Afghanistan regarding recent border skirmishes, stating "I’m good at solving wars and making peace." The President’s comments, disseminated via X on October 13th, 2025, follow reports of overnight clashes between Pakistani forces and Tehrik-i-Taliban Afghanistan (TTA) along their shared border. During the past hour, specifically between 4:35 AM and 5:35 AM UTC on October 13th, President Trump's remarks were shared on the official @OSPSF X account. These comments reiterate his willingness to intervene in the ongoing conflict, which has seen significant casualties among fighters on both sides. Previous reports indicated that Pakistani Air Force strikes targeted Afghan Taliban forces on October 12th, after alleged cross-border raids by Afghan Taliban fighters were met with mortar fire. The conflict has been a persistent issue, particularly since the Taliban's resurgence in 2021.
