Trump Says Pakistan PM Told Him 35 Million Would Have Died Without His Intervention

Trump claimed Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif said 35 million lives were saved by US intervention that ended the India-Pakistan conflict and averted nuclear war.

  • During his February 24, 2026 State of the Union, President Donald Trump claimed his intervention stopped a nuclear war that would have killed 35 million in Pakistan, including its prime minister.
  • After the May 7, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, India launched Operation Sindoor, involving land, air, and sea strikes, to dismantle terror networks across the Line of Control.
  • Operation Sindoor involved land, air, and sea strikes, with the Indian Air Force targeting Nur Khan and Rahim Yar Khan air bases, followed by Pakistani drone and UCAV retaliation, which India’s multi‑layered air defence system partly neutralised.
  • The address mixed international warnings with domestic pledges, including references to Russia-Ukraine and Iran, but analysts say there is no clear agreement on how many conflicts Trump resolved.
