New Delhi has, however, categorically denied that the U.S. played any role in mediating the India-Pakistan ceasefire following Operation Sindoor in May.
Trump asserted that his use of tariffs and trade pressure helped bring peace to war-torn regions around the world.
US President Donald Trump, in the wee hours of Monday, once again claimed credit for resolving several long-standing global conflicts, including those between India and Pakistan, as he flew to the Middle East to attend the Gaza peace summit.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump asserted that his use of tariffs and trade pressure helped bring peace to war-torn regions around the world.
“This will be my eighth war that I have solved, and I hear there is a war now going on between Pakistan and Afghanistan. I said I’ll have to wait till I get back, I’m doing another one. Because I’m good at solving wars,” Trump said, referring to the ongoing hostilities along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border across over 29 hotspots along the Durand Line.
Reiterating his earlier claims, the US President said his administration had ended multiple wars “within a day,” including the conflict between India and Pakistan.
