NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump has repeated his claim of resolving the India-Pakistan conflict and asserted that Islamabad’s leadership credited him for saving millions of lives.
Trump made these remarks at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, flanked by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John Phelan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“We stopped a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India. And the head of Pakistan, a highly respected General, he’s a Field Marshal and also the Prime Minister of Pakistan, said President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more…,” he said.
“You know, eight planes were shot down. That war was starting to rage, and he actually said the other day that President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more. So we solved all these wars. The only one I haven’t solved yet is Russia, Ukraine,” he said.
Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 60 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between the two neighbours.
