Trump Claims Tariff Threat Ended India-Pakistan Conflict During Operation Sindoor
US President Donald Trump claimed that his threat of imposing 250% tariffs forced India and Pakistan to end their conflict during Operation Sindoor last year, stating both countries were angry but agreed to stop fighting after the warning. He also asserted that 11 planes were shot down, a claim disputed by India. Trump said Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif credited him with saving 50 million lives. India maintains the ceasefire was achieved through direct military communication and denies any third-party intervention.
