US Edition'We've Been Very Successful in Settling Wars': Trump Reiterates Claim About Stopping Conflict Between India and Pakistan
INDIA, JUL 14 – Trump claims he used trade leverage to prevent a nuclear war between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack, a claim denied by India which cites bilateral military talks.
- On Monday in Washington DC, President Donald Trump claimed he stopped the conflict, saying it could have been a `nuclear war`.
- On April 22 in Pahalgam, a terror attack killed 26 people, leading to four days of cross-border strikes and a May 10 truce.
- The armies' Directors General of Military Operations held direct talks that brought an end to hostilities, with India's Ministry of External Affairs stating the issue of trade was never discussed, noting Pakistan's DGMO Major General Kashif Abdullah directly called his Indian counterpart to seek a ceasefire.
- The Congress party demanded that Modi answer Trump's ceasefire claims, with Jairam Ramesh noting the claim has been repeated 22 times, and Parliament resumes on July 21.
- Earlier this month, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar denied any US mediation role, even as Trump touted an imminent India-Pakistan trade deal.
