Trump Claims US Tariff Threat Ended India-Pakistan Conflict During Operation Sindoor
US President Donald Trump claimed that the threat of 250% tariffs by the US stopped the India-Pakistan conflict during Operation Sindoor last year, saying both countries were angry but agreed to cease hostilities. He also asserted that 11 planes were shot down, a claim disputed by India. India maintains the ceasefire resulted from direct military communication with Pakistan, denying any third-party intervention. Trump additionally mentioned Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif credited him with saving millions of lives by preventing war escalation.
