Trump claims he prevented nuclear war between Pakistan and India

according to the ‌English ​section of webangah​ News Agency, citing Mehr News‍ Agency and Financial Times, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed in​ an interview with Fox news that he convinced India and Pakistan to agree to peace and prevented an imminent nuclear war.

Trump stated: “I think​ we convinced them (India and Pakistan) to say, ‘Let’s make peace and sign trade deals.’ If we can do trade, it’s much, much better than exchanging nuclear fire.”

The U.S.⁤ President asserted: “I don’t think we’ve ever been at​ a point where—between two countries that‌ have very good leaders who I know very well—there was a potential for a nuclear war. We intervened in ‍a very crucial process with India and ⁢Pakistan.”

Raveesh Kumar, spokesperson for‌ India’s Ministry of‌ External Affairs, said yesterday that no trade⁣ discussions ​took place ​between the U.S. and India. He added that talks between​ Indian and U.S. ‌leaders revolved around military developments following the start of‌ Operation “Sindoor” against Pakistan, with no mention of trade.

On Monday, Trump also‍ claimed his administration played a ‌vital role ​in mediating a⁣ ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.

“We stopped a ‍nuclear war,” he said. “I think ‌it would have been a ‌very devastating⁢ one—millions would ⁢have‌ died.” He added: “I also want to⁣ thank JD Vance (his deputy) and Marco Rubio (U.S.‍ Secretary of State) for⁢ their efforts.” His administration helped broker Saturday’s ceasefire⁤ to halt hostilities—one which he believes coudl be permanent between two nations possessing vast nuclear arsenals.
