Cuba slams Trump’s claims after US leader says island ‘will fall’

US President Donald Trump addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, September 22, again claiming credit for helping de-escalate the India-Pakistan conflict. He stated that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif credited him with saving "30 million lives, and probably many more than that." Trump described Sharif as a "terrific man" and presented his record of settling major global conflicts, including the India-Pakistan conflict, which he claimed was settled through his intervention.

The report highlights the differing accounts between India and the US on the role of third-party mediation in the ceasefire, with India maintaining that the conflict was resolved through direct military communication between the two countries' armed forces.
