US EditionTrump Again Takes Credit for Stopping Potential India-Pakistan Nuclear War: ‘They Already Shot Down 7 Jets when I Said…’
Donald Trump claims his trade threats ended the May conflict that saw seven jets downed, averting a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan, despite Indian officials disputing his role.
- On May 10, President Donald Trump said seven jets were shot down during the India-Pakistan clash and he brokered a ceasefire after a 'long night' of talks.
- The clash began after an April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, with military tensions escalating from May 7 to May 10, including aircraft losses on May 7, an Indian defence official said.
- Military statements recorded differing tallies as Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh said India's S-400 systems downed five fighters plus one early-warning plane, and an Indian defence official admitted losses on May 7.
- India rejected the claim that a foreign leader brokered the truce, with the Ministry of External Affairs saying the ceasefire resulted from direct DGMO-to-DGMO talks, a stance echoed by S. Jaishankar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- Since May, President Donald Trump has repeatedly asserted he 'helped settle' tensions over 40 times, claiming he used tariff and trade threats with a 24 hours ultimatum to force a truce, PTI reported.
