US Edition‘Tough as Hell’: Trump Hails ‘Great-Looking Guy’ PM Modi as He Repeats India-Pak Ceasefire Claim
- On Wednesday at the APEC summit in Gyeongju, United States President Donald Trump said he threatened 250 per cent tariffs to help end the India-Pakistan conflict earlier in 2025, repeating that claim to business leaders.
- Operation Sindoor escalated cross‑border strikes after India launched it on May 7 in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians, while US Vice‑President J.D. Vance and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio engaged Indian leaders before the May 10 ceasefire understanding.
- Trump said `I said to Prime Minister Modi...`, calling him the 'nicest‑looking guy' and stating 'seven planes' were shot down, recounting his talks during the India-Pakistan conflict.

- The US administration has not announced a rollback of the 50 per cent tariff on Indian exports, complicating trade relations as Trump repeatedly cites his role during his three‑nation tour of Asia.
