After Phone Call with Modi, Trump Repeats Claim He Stopped India-Pakistan War

INDIA, JUN 18 – Trump claims US mediation and trade pressure ended the May conflict between India and Pakistan, despite Indian officials denying any third-party involvement in the ceasefire.

  • On June 18, 2025, during comments in Washington DC, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he had prevented a conflict between the nuclear-armed countries India and Pakistan.
  • The claim followed a 35-minute phone call on the same day, in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified India never accepted any third-party mediation, stating the ceasefire was arranged directly between the two militaries.
  • Trump acknowledged the significant roles played by both Modi and Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir in preventing the conflict from escalating and mentioned that he employed trade diplomacy to promote de-escalation prior to his planned meeting with Munir.
  • Trump mentioned that he had a conversation with Modi the previous evening and expressed confidence that a trade agreement with India is forthcoming, while also emphasizing that he helped prevent a conflict between two significant countries.
  • While Trump repeatedly claimed credit for ending the conflict, India has consistently denied any external mediation role, maintaining the ceasefire resulted from direct military dialogue initiated by Pakistan.
