President Donald Trump has once again taken credit for ending a military conflict between India and Pakistan, stating that his threat of imposing a 250% tariff on both nations' trade forced the two nuclear-armed countries to cease hostilities. Speaking at a campaign rally, Trump claimed that his ultimatum to both leaders led to an immediate end to the fighting.
"Fellas, if you guys are going to do that, you won't be trading with the US..." he said, threatening to impose massive tariffs on both countries to halt their business dealings. The threat reportedly prompted both sides to stop shooting and the war effectively ended. Trump expressed his disappointment over not receiving a Nobel Prize for his diplomatic efforts, questioning why he hadn't been recognized for "settling eight wars."
However, India has dismissed Trump's claims, insisting that the ceasefire during Operation Sindoor was reached through direct communication between the two nations' military commanders and that the operation to eliminate terror infrastructure was a domestic decision.
