Trump Claims Tariff Threat Ended 2025 India-Pakistan Conflict Amid India’s Denial
At US midterm election rallies, former President Donald Trump claimed he stopped the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict by threatening both countries with 250% tariffs, asserting that the threat ended hostilities after eleven planes were shot down. He said India and Pakistan were upset but ceased fighting without United Nations involvement. India has consistently rejected Trump's claims, maintaining that the ceasefire was reached directly between the two militaries following Operation Sindoor, launched after a terror attack in Pahalgam.
