In the wake of the announcement that Pakistan had agreed to a ceasefire following US intervention, Social media users have reacted in typical fashion, with memes and humorous commentary flooding platforms like X (formerly Twitter). One such meme shared by US influencer Ian Miles Cheong, which has gone viral, humorously depicts a moment before the ceasefire agreement, illustrating a fictionalized scene with U.S. President Donald Trump, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif
The meme, which has quickly gained traction, shows Shehbaz Sharif pleading for Trump’s help, with the caption, “PLEASE HELP ME.” The imagery of the Pakistani official grabbing Trump’s leg while Modi stands stoically in the background adds a satirical spin to the serious geopolitical development.

Captioned “This is kind of what happened before Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire. Indian X users remain undefeated,” the meme humorously suggests that the intervention by the U.S. played a pivotal role in bringing the situation to a halt.
India and Pakistan officially announced a ceasefire, effective from 5:00 PM on May 10th. The agreement came after weeks of escalated tensions between the two nations, during which both sides targeted each other’s military installations.
The ceasefire announcement was made by India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, who stated that the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan and India spoke at 3:35 PM, agreeing to cease all firing and military actions from both air and sea by 5 PM on May 10th.
