Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, has stated he played a role in preventing a nuclear war between India and Pakistan. During a press briefing at the White House, Trump claimed he had intervened to stop seven global conflicts. He highlighted that the India-Pakistan conflict could have escalated to a nuclear exchange. Trump described his use of trade measures, specifically tariffs, to de-escalate these conflicts. He stated that he threatened to impose high tariffs to discourage continued fighting. In the context of the India-Pakistan situation, Trump claimed that seven fighter jets were shot down. He indicated he threatened to cease trade relations unless the conflict ended swiftly. Despite Trump’s claims, Indian authorities have maintained that the ceasefire was a result of direct communication between the military leadership of both countries. Trump also commented on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, suggesting the conflict would not have started if he were still in office and hinted at future interventions.
