Here’s a paraphrased version in the third person:

The White House Watch newsletter is accessible for free, offering insights into the implications of a second term for Donald Trump on Washington, business, and global affairs.
On Saturday, the United States, India, and Pakistan announced that India and Pakistan had reached an agreement on a ceasefire, concluding their most severe conflict in over two decades.
U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media to assert that he played a pivotal role in facilitating the agreement. He stated on Truth Social that, following a night of negotiations mediated by the U.S., India and Pakistan had consented to a “FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE.” Trump commended both nations for their “Common Sense and Great Intelligence.”
Pakistan confirmed Trump’s statement first. Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, mentioned on social media that both nations agreed to implement a ceasefire immediately. Dar emphasized Pakistan’s continuous efforts towards regional peace and security without undermining its sovereignty.
India also affirmed that it had agreed to pause the aerial conflict, which had recently seen missile exchanges between the two nations. Vikram Misri, India’s Foreign Minister, stated in New Delhi that Pakistan’s Director-General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart earlier that afternoon. They concurred to cease all military actions across land, air, and sea as of 17:00 hours on the same day. Instructions had been issued on both sides to effectuate this agreement.
This situation continues to develop.
